One Dead Indian (2006)

This is a decent movie of the week. It is nothing special like most dramatic movie of the week shows, with a limited budget and some overacting by some of the actors etc. It is a bit too melodramatic at times but it is still believably dramatic because it is based on the real events of Dudley George and the standoff that happened. This is good to watch because it shows a lot of the events that happened during the standoff and we all know what happens but it shows how things got to where they did, and why. I'm not sure how accurate and true the story is because I don't know that much about it but it's a good story with some real drama and you could do a lot worse with your time than watching this made for TV movie.

I could watch this movie over and over again , Every time i watch it i get so worked up , my feelings vary from angry too heartbroken ; Dokota House was amazing , simply a great actor with a role of a life time.I've seen tons of native American movies , but none like this i can recall my uncles talking about this very event.. i loved to just sit around and listen too their stories knowing how big of a shock it must of been , wishing i was there too witness it all take place .. but what i really was getting too with this post , before i rambled on is could someone please get me the songs that are played threw out the movie? , i can never catch them in the end credits .

This was the best portrayal i have ever seen Dakota House do. I think the family of Dudley George should be very proud of this movie which will hopefully bring more awareness to all the wrong doings of our justice system. With more movies about aboriginals being mistreated by the police perhaps it will open up enough eyes to make some good changes to our hypocritical justice system. Could there possibly be a movie in the making about the starlight tour victims??????????????PLEASE!!!In closing, I'd just like to say Dakota House should get a Grammy award for his performance in this movie.....and all the other actors were awesome too....I cried through the last hour!!!

This movie tells it like it was; a justifiably harsh portrayal of police brutality against a much-maligned group of people who were just trying to make a point. It was also a fairly accurate picture of what Native people really are, and that's PEOPLE! They're regular people with problems, jobs, aspirations, hopes and dreams. They are not all drunks and they are not all wise and peaceful medicine men. They think and feel with their hearts, like many of us do.Gordon Tootoosis has a good role, sort of minor, and I feel it was a good thing, letting others into the spotlight. Everyone expects him to be a major player. Not this time.Dakota House plays a good 'angry young man', not quite a Warrior, but had the potential to be one, if he'd lived.I note with interest that two of the movie's key roles have been omitted from the cast at this site. Stephen McHattie plays the senior officer for the OPP, and the actor who plays Kenneth Deane is also not mentioned. Anyone know who he is and why he is not listed here? -Jack-
