I think it's a fine example of the oral tradition... This movie is so quotable, 25 years later my wife and I still work a quote in to conversations.
LoL same here. My father in law has been "your dad" for years.
Great review and understanding to what the movie really was and is representing. I am honestly impressed
I watched this video a while back now I’m in a first people’s class in high school and doing a project on smoke signals I don’t think I could formulate my words and ideas the same way you do but this video has been a big inspiration for doing research outside of school and I feel like I’ve discovered so many new things I couldn’t have before so thank you 🙏
Thank you for the very kind words! Happy to hear
I really like the story of this movie it's very sad but true......
Very good movie.....
Thanks for writing my paper for me, my good chum. Although, one would expect more in-depth analysis from a 400-level course. Is this course in a state school?
Great video and content
👍
First, I am glad to see a video discussing a classic film in First Nations history, partially due to this being a staple in basic Rez life but also because I have read the short story collection that this film is based on. Second, I have to disagree with the notion of this being the first accurate depiction of First Nations in film, as that honour does go to Chief Dan George's performance in The Outlaw Josey Wales. It showed the sense of oral tradition that is a large factor in many tribes' cultures but also the sense of humour that Lone Wati had is very much a part of how my grandparents and those that grew up around the turn of the century had gone through. This fact is also brought up in the documentary Reel Injun. This was due to Clint Eastwood's directing choice with Chief Dan George, as he would tell him what the script called for and the points that he wished to convey and Chief Dan George delivered as authentic as he could. This trait is also shown in his performance in Little Big Man. Other notable portrayals of First Nations are Thunderheart, Dance Me Outside, Clearcut, Dreamkeeper, War Party, and Powwow Highway. While those most of those films were not directed by a First Nations director they do tell some excellent stories and have some great performances. I did enjoy the fact that you show Skins as coming after the success of this film, as I have also read the book as well, but it also showcases my favourite actor Graham Greene. And if you do like his performance in Skins, Thunderheart, or Die Hard With A Vengence(dude was in a freaking Die Hard movie), then I highly recommend you watch Clearcut. His performance is scary and entertaining as a radical individual pushed to extreme measures, plus Floyd Crow Westerman is as the elder Wilf.
I loved Smoke Signals. Would love to see more movies like this in theaters. Love Reservation Dogs!!!! Sorry it's ending this season
Love this Movie!
Good video
Amazing

FirstNations peoples get together. Loosing themselves. FirstNations have immigrants running what FirstNations should be running.
