New documentary examines dwindling Indian land holdings
A new film, "American Indian Homelands: Matters of Truth, Honor and
Dignity  Immemorial," focuses on the loss of tribal lands through
federal policy and how it affects American Indians today. Narrated by
ABC newsman Sam Donaldson, the film was viewed by American Indians and
non-Indians before its release. Among the comments:
"The Indian focus groups that we showed it to absolutely loved  it and
thought every Indian should see it.  They thought it  should be
longer." Cris Stainbrook, president of  the Indian Land Tenure
Foundation in Little Canada, Minn.
"The federal government  can take Indian land at will without
compensation.  The United States can't do that to anyone else except
Indians." Tim Coulter,  Director of Helena's Indian Law Resource
Center in Helena
"Homelands" has aired in some metropolitan markets, and airtime dates
are scheduled in San Francisco and Albuquerque.  National distribution
is planned to retail outlets around the country.  The film is also
becoming a part of curriculum and reference libraries, including the
University of Minnesota,  Dartmouth College and Ball State University
in Indiana.
