10 Great Films About Indigenous American and First Nations Experience

"- -As Indigenous cultural resistance to this mode of treatment and representation has grown from the 1960s period of self-determination, cinema has begun to steadily address history and its own treatment of Indigenous people. From revealing revisionist westerns, such as Broken Arrow (1950), and dramatisations of real-world events, such as Martin Scorsese's forthcoming Killers of the Flower Moon (2023), to horror films and even sci-fi, Indigenous and non-Indigenous writers and directors are actively addressing and questioning colonist history, revealing the truth of how the West was really won and, more importantly, giving Indigenous Americans and First Nations people a voice to respond with and an agency to act against."
