Lakota Nation vs. United States

in honor of Indigenous Peoples Day

LAKOTA NATION VS. UNITED STATES chronicles the Lakota Indians’ century-long quest to reclaim the Black Hills, sacred land that was stolen in violation of treaty agreements. This searing and timely portrait of resistance explores the ways America has ignored its debt to indigenous communities, and ponders what might be done today to repair the wrongs of the past. Filmmakers Jesse Short Bull and Laura Tomaselli weave potent interviews with classic old Hollywood films and TV clips that reinforced stereotypes and propelled long standing bias. This visually stunning chronicle reminds viewers to both reflect and then strive to enact meaningful social change.
