Native Americans & Hollywood Industry
I would like to say Hollywood industry makes us feel that Native Americans do not exist; unless the White or Jewish people want to make movies about Native Americans and make profit off of us, which it is ashame. Hollywood needs to treats Native American actors/actresses equally to Blacks, Whites, Latinos and Asians -- why do you think that back in 1970s Marlon Brando didn't accept the Oscars? Because the way Hollywood mistreats Native American; Brando has a daughter, who is part Cheyenne.
Dances With Wolves is one of the highly-grossed (profited) movies about Native Americans and European Americans. But what about the Native American based movies in the threatre recently (End of Spears and New World)? Those movies grossed to $4 million in the box office and that's sad about how some of the people are closed minded about not watching N.A. movies. The TV mini-series Dreamkeepers and Into The West, they were nominated, but never won.
I feel that all the Europeans or Jewish people (Steven Steilberg) who makes movie and make profit out of us, should donate 10-20% of the earnings to any Native American tribe that they desired, or to a few Native American organizations or American Indian College Fund. Native Americans derserve to get and to have a higher education. Native American models, actors, actresses do not deserve to be put on a minimum wage. Do you think that is a good idea for the directors and producers to do so? Also, if others outside our race cannot support us (in the movie/TV industry), then we need to support ourselves and not to despair or complain for long. Did Kevin Costner give contribution to the Native Americans at all? Please reply. Thank you.
P.S. Smoke Signals and other Native American movies that you can think should be at every movie store, and deserve to be in the theatres.
