Homeland: Four Portraits of Native Action
USA, 2005. 88 min.
Director: Roberta Grossman
Nearly all Indian nations sit on land threatened by environmental hazards - toxic waste, strip mining, oil drilling and nuclear contamination. This critical situation is one of the most important but little known human rights stories in America today. This beautifully crafted feature length documentary takes a hard look at these realities and chronicles the efforts of four remarkable Native American activists - Gail Small, Northern Cheyenne (The Coal Wars/Montana), Evon Peter, Gwich'in (Caribou Refuge Rescue/Alaska), Mitchell and Rita Capitan, Eastern Navajo (Uranium Mining/New Mexico) and Barry Dana, Penobscot (Penobscot River/Maine)-leading the charge in these new Indian Wars. Interspersed with archival clips, impassioned testimonials from tribal and community leaders, and experts in the field, HOMELAND: FOUR PORTRAITS OF NATIVE ACTION is an inspiring look at true leaders who are dedicated to forcing change to save their land, preserve their sovereignty and ensure the cultural survival of their people.
