A somewhat realistic , stylized movie... to understand the level of state control read the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples Report or research Maisy Shaw or watch testimony of Ethel Favel on Utube. Aila is rez smart, organized & must keep track of all the pies the Indian Agent's hand is in...to retrieve her money. Her father endures..& how he shows he loves them all is to take the fall..similar to Peltier's. & listening the John Trudell's discourse on the "Drunken Indian" will afford the library patron some understanding on the 4B's of colonialism : the booze , the bible , the blankets & the bullets.
