Ep. 34: The Daughter of Dawn is Illuminating

We go back to the dawn of cinema with THE DAUGHTER OF DAWN, a love story set in the First Nations of the Great Plains. In discussing it, we will take a (very limited) view of how Native people have been depicted in cinema, talk about the importance of media preservation (iykyk), and why Red Wing can do SO MUCH BETTER.This episode was recorded and edited across the unceded ancestral lands of the Mascogo, Mass-adchu-es-et, Miccosukee, Mohican, Munsee Lenape, Naumkeag, Pawtucket, Schaghticoke, Seminole, and Wappinger Nations.
