Dodging Bullets

Opis filmu

Opis oryginalny: angielski

Americas fickle love affair with Native Americans is limited to revisionist stories of passive Indian maidens like Pocahontas and Sacajawea or fierce doomed warriors like Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. Worse, the modern stereotype America has about Native Americans is limited to the oppressed drunkard or the fat casino cat, neither of which deserves understanding nor empathy. No matter what kind of image is evoked, you cant win if youre Native: A successful Indian exploits the American way by not giving back his fair share and a downtrodden Indian cant pull himself up by his boot straps no matter how much government assistance hes given. Native Americans are blamed for not taking responsibility for the plight of their people and told that they dont deserve help or money despite the fact that Native Americans have the highest poverty rates and the lowest access to health care of any race in the United States
