They would have been sad...the movies, that is.

The Native Americans were probably the most qualified to make a great and accurate movie about Native American life. If the Native Americans were making the movies, though, then they would actually be receiving more help for the dominant problems that they face that never seem to be in the movies. Those movies would have been sad, and the subsequent "Awww, poor Indian man" that would have been groaned all across the country from movies like this being shown would be enough to get the attentions of people that could help. For that matter, why doesn't Oprah or somebody similar do something to help the Native American population when half the stuff that they waste their money on doesn't even matter to anybody but themselves? They could make a real difference if they cared; however, I believe that is the problem. Even after Native Americans started making movies that were revealing and powerful, nobody actually did much of anything.to help the Native Americans. I didn't even know that it was a stereotype to say that Native Americans were heavy drinkers until I took this class.
