A History of Native Americans in Cinema/ smoke singnals

The article was very long!!! But I did enjoy it I learned a lot about the movie industry. I did not realize what Indians went through in the movie industry I never gave it much thought. So it was cool to get to hear about it.

We are watching smoke signals in class so far I like it. The story makes you feel for the people livening on the reservation. But they point out the bad in comical ways like a car that can only go backwards because they can not pay to get it fixed. The character Thomas in this movie is a lot to handle I don’t think I could go on a trip with him I may kill him. He does not think before he talks. I can't wait to see where the movie takes us.

  4. I too can't wait to see where Smoke Signals takes us!! I am enjoying a lot right now!

    The piece we had to read was incredibly long! I too thought it was interesting to see what the Native Americans had to go through to make a film! or to get it to be recognized!
