Behind the Aegis

If you have Netflix, I recommend watching "Reel Injuns". [View all]

It is a documenatary on the portryal of Native Americans in the movies. It starts out really, really, slow. BUT, within 20 minutes, it picks up and is quite interesting and informative. It touches on stereotypes and how they eventually were challanged.
