Title: If your native don't buy this - Just for white folks only
Review: Firstly as a filmmaker and secondly as a Oglala Lakota/Northern Cheyenne human being from Wounded Knee on the Pine Ridge rez with a family background that goes way back, I watched 'Bury My Heart' today with some trepidation and really couldn't believe my ears and my eyes.Why would HBO get a guy from Canada to direct this US plains film, I will never know. His attempt at understanding a native worldview illustrates his ignorance and lack of depth. Shame that just when we as native people need more of our stories seen in mainstream media we get stuff like this.I would love to direct this myself. Watch out for my documentary 'Coloring the Media'Bad directing, bad dialogue and waste of great talent by a terrible director. My advice stay on that side of the border when dealing with stories that you don't really understand - better still use a Native Director. C'mon HBO get to grips with the 21st century.Mitakuye Oyasin!!!!
