To date there have only been 4 contemporary American Indian women stories ever produced in film history in the United States, they are: “A Girl Called Hatter Fox” C.B.S. 1977 – starring Joanelle Romero (this was the first contemporary American Indian Women story produced); “Lakota Woman” Ted Turner TNT 1994 starring Irene Bedard; “Naturally Native” in 1998 starring Valerie Redhorse; and “Imprint” in 2007 starring Tonantzin Carmelo.

the sad thing is, Lakota Woman, if it was based off the book, was written by a non-native and filled with inaccurate information and stereotypes. Anyone who has read that book or plans to, ought to be made aware of that fact.

I’d include “Grand Avenue” (1996) in that list.
