The lives of Indigenous peoples have long been framed for the outside world by others' cinematic gaze. But during the past thirty years, North America's Indigenous image-makers, particularly in Canada, have used the changing technologies of film, video, television, and computer to present their peoples' histories, identities, and perspectives. This edited collection of essays, conversations, and interviews combines Indigenous and non-Indigenous voices as it sets changing representations of Indigenous people on screen against broader socio-cultural, ideological, and economic considerations.
Altogether this volume provides an extensive overview of key issues in the representation of Aboriginal people, a stimulating introduction to emerging areas of concern, and valuable insights into the production of film, video, and television about Aboriginal issues. * British Journal of Canadian Studies *
