You've probably noticed that the things you're most indifferent to are also the things you know least about. Not the things you actively dislike — the things you've just never been introduced to. A bird that's always been background. A neighbourhood you pass through. A person whose name you've never learned. The indifference isn't the starting point. It's what accumulates when the conversation never happened.

Arthur Penn, Dustin Hoffman – „Little Big Man“ (1970)
Ein Western? Ein episches Drama? Eine beißende Satire? Die Dekonstruktion des amerikanischen Mythos? Ein antirassistisches Manifest? Ach, machen Sie doch daraus, was immer Sie wollen. Mir egal! Mit Sicherheit war dieser Film einer der wichtigsten, meines Lebens. (ARD, Wh.))

I've been living on #Wabanaki land for many years now, and ever since I moved here, I've been championing and advocating for the #WabanakiConfederacy . Before that, I lived on #Wampanoag land and participated in the #DayOfMourning protests / ceremonies, and before that, I spent my childhood in #Pentucket territory, getting to know all the plants and animals that lived in the woods and wetlands there -- wondering about the people who lived there before (they were wiped out). My first awareness of the true story between "Cowboys and Indians" was the movie #LittleBigMan with Dustin Hoffman and #ChiefDanGeorge of the #Salish. The depictions of #genocide made me cry, and ever since then, I knew why I always sided with the "Indians" -- and knew there was more to the story of #Thanksgiving and the Wild West -- it was all about #colonialism, #ManifestDestiny, and expansion into #NativeAmericans' homeland!
