How Native Filmmakers Grabbed Hollywood's Spotlight

Indigenous people and their stories have been represented and distorted, vilified and celebrated throughout movie history, from the first Westerns to this year's Oscar favorite "Killers of the Flower Moon". While the "screen Indian" was first used as a symbol of the other, the dangerous or exotic, Indigenous filmmakers are beginning to take control and reframe the narratives of native life, by providing authentic representations in front of and behind the camera and reimagining what the past, present and future of Indigenous culture can be - whether its Taika Waititi with comedies like "Reservation Dogs" and "Next Goal Wins", Erica Tremblay's and Loretta Todd with social dramas like "Monkey Beach" and "Fancy Dance" or Danis Goulet with the Indigenous Futurism film "Night Raiders".
