Wonderful book with several key essays that discuss the role that Native Americans have played in film, to date. Covers the "John Ford Early Western" era, then moves on to discuss the "Revisionist Western" era, and even talks about Smoke Signals and "Contemporary American Indian Film" that is made by, for, and with all Natives. Really great information. This is a book that I've come back to again and again, in whole and in part, for film studies. The essay on "Going Indian" in Dances with Wolves is very informative (and I've assigned it to students a lot to get them thinking about the Revisionist Western era).
