- W608216056 abstract "This is the first year for the University of Nebraska at Omaha Native Film Festival. The Festival was presented Nov. 1-3, 2013, by the Native American Studies Program of the University of Nebraska at Omaha and Vision Maker Media. In addition to the movies reviewed below, the Festival included a program of children/family films, a program of short films, an acting workshop with Chaske Spencer (Lakota Sioux), and a workshop on how to use visual media in the classroom presented by Vision Maker Media. Vision Maker Media is a nonprofit organization that shares Native stories with the world by advancing media that represents the experiences, values, and cultures of American Indians and Alaska Natives. This film review is available in Journal of Religion & Film: http://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol18/iss1/40 40 Years Celebrating Wounded Knee (2013) Directed by Christopher Marshall Christopher Marshall’s 40 Years Celebrating Wounded Knee examines the commemoration of the seventy-one day pan-Indian occupation of Wounded Knee in 1973. This film is not intended to showcase the issues surrounding the actual take over itself, but the power Wounded Knee continues to have over the hearts of many Native people. Held for a week in February 2013 in South Dakota, festivities included interviews with key players in the takeover, such as American Indian Movement (AIM) co-founders Dennis Banks and Clyde Bellecourt. Another notable AIM co-founder, Russell Means, passed away before the observances began, but is given a touching dedication honoring his contributions to Native people. Along with these recollections, important developments leading up to Wounded Knee, such as the takeover of Alcatraz and the Trail of Broken Treaties, are discussed and reminisced over. Artist and activist Donel Keeler is also prominently featured throughout the documentary as he recounts his introduction to Native activism and experiences at Wounded Knee. His paintings and humble fortitude helped inspire several Native activists at Wounded Knee and his work continues to provide encouragement to Native people. The American Indian Movement (founded in 1968 in Minneapolis) eventually came to understand its cause as predominately spiritual in nature moreso than political, and that reality is featured towards the end of the documentary. In a show of cultural sensitivity, the camera is temporarily turned off during moments of prayer and ceremony. Also reflected in the film is the belief of many AIM members that their mission followed in the lineage of other famous panIndian movements, and that their work should similarly be used to inspire younger generations of 1 DeSanti et al.: UNO Native Film Festival Published by DigitalCommons@UNO, 2014 Native people to focus on improving their communities through education, political engagement, and spirituality. Wounded Knee will always hold a prominent place in the hearts of many Indian people as a place of sorrow and loss stemming from the massacre of 1890. The 1973 occupation maintains a similar level of emotional affection, but one of rejuvenation rather than angst. The 1973 siege came at a time in which Native people had been absent from the national stage for decades. By uniting across tribal lines for the purposes of reforming tribal governments and demanding the federal government abide by its treaty obligations, Native people ignited an indigenous cultural renaissance that continues to reverberate today. Christopher Marshall’s 40 Years Celebrating Wounded Knee is a good reminder of Wounded Knee’s enduring impact on Native people today. — Brady DeSanti" @default.
