Storytelling has always been a part of the history of people. For many, the oral history tradition continues to paint pictures and scenes in the minds of the listeners. In the early 1900′s, the technology of film begin to become a popular medium to tell stories. Over the years, Native Americans have been a popular subject of films and stories. At first marginalized and inaccurately depicted in film, they slowly have began to tell their own stories. We celebrate the tradition of storytelling and focus this year on films that included Nez Perce actors, land, directors, and stories.
6:00 pm Dreamkeeper (Tentative)
A 2003 film written by John Fusco and directed by Steve Barron. The film shares the conflict between a Lakota elder and storyteller named Pete Chasing Horse and his Lakota grandson, Shane Chasing Horse. The story unwinds as the two travel from Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota to the fictitious All Nations powwow in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a trip the grandson takes only under duress. Along the way, the grandfather tells his grandson various Indian stories and legends to help him understand and choose the “good red road,” i.e. to embrace an Indian identity.
