Kohl's recommended film

This movie was very touching because the Native American Activist, who I can't remember his name, said that Native American's still have their culture and that's what makes them breathe life. He noted that the modern day "Americans" don't have culture and that he is lucky to have his own culture and he feels lucky about that. I thought it was touching that he was so proud of his culture. I thought it was sad that some of the families wish that the president could see what happens on these reservations and what kind of living conditions they have so he could do something about these conditions and hopefully, this could make the life expentancy of Native Americans a lot longer than 47 years old. I thought it was interesting that one of the men in the film said that health care for Native Americans is set up to fail. In the novel by Sherman Alexie we read for class, Junior says the health care of Natives was basically horrible. For example, Junior said that Natives were only given half the Novican for procedures because the dentist said that Indians could feel only half the pain as everyone else. And in the movie, the man said the dentist pulled the wrong tooth because she mixed up the xrays with another Native American. This just shows how some people don't care about Native Americans and this is a sad realization of mine as a result of the information I have learned thoughout this quarter so far.
