In the 2001 documentary "Seth Eastman:Painting the Dakota" Producer/Director Kristian Berg scores another notch in his belt with an interesting, informative and well done documentary about soldier/artist Seth Eastman whose collection and paintings depicting Dakota daily life and ceremonies in the mid-1800's, have been on the field of controversy as to their culturally accurate content for many years. Kristian has a certain diplomacy and knack for staying out of the politics of issues, which enables him to get deep into the heart of all sides of an issue. Well-known and liked in many Dakota communities and reservations, Dakotas always seem willing to work with him as he has a natural talent for letting people tell their own story on camera.
This documentary has already won the Bronze Wrangler award for Western style documentaries. See also "Dakota Exile" and "Dakota Conflict" two more excellent documentaries produced/directed by Kristian Berg on Dakota People and history.

One of the best documentaries ever to be made on Dakota history.
1862 was perhaps the most memorable year in Dakota history as it was the last time the 7 bands of the Great Dakota Nation were as one people.
It was the year of the largest mass execution in U.S. history. 38 Dakota men all hung at the same time from a giant gallows on Dec. 26th, 1862. This films tells the story of the Dakota Peoples Exile from their homeland. Mni -i- sota,(Minnesota) by interviewing Dakota Elders from Santee, Nebraska to Lower Sioux Agency, Minnesota, to Sioux Valley,Manitoba, Canada. With excellent cinematography, this Nationally distributed on PBS film has won awards for sound, has an excellent score and has deeply moving interviews. Narrated by Robbie Robertson.
On a personal note, I believe this film should be shown in every classroom of children across America and Canada.

The movie "Skins", directed by Chris Eyre, (FirstLook Pictures) 84 min. produced by Jon Kilik and starring Eric Schwieg and Graham Greene is a milestone and an accomplishment in films by Natives about Natives.
It is somewhat reminiscent of what "Once Were Warriors" meant to the Maori People of New Zealand. Pulling no punches, "Skins" uncovers the stark reality of the Oglala Lakota (Sioux) of Pine Ridge reservation and their daily plight to survive in "Third World" conditions.
Eric Schwieg gives a command performance as
Rudy Yellow Lodge, a BIA cop with an older brother, Mogie, (played by Graham Greene)who is a Viet Nam vet and a chronic alcoholic. The film also brings to light the important issue of how white border towns (in this case White Clay, Nebraska) prey upon reservations and profit from Native Peoples miseries by selling alcohol. Graham Greene gives a five-star performance and humanizes a character most people would write off as simply a drunk, while also bringing to light the fact that there are many Native Veterans of Viet Nam War in this country, a fact most Americans probably don't consider. The film reflects the reality of violence and despair on the reservation, yet keeps you laughing with wit & humor interwoven throughout a well written script. (When you are Indian, sometimes things get so bad that a good joke is the only thing that you have left.)
While Rudy struggles with his job as a cop, a girlfriend who's still married, an alcoholic brother and his own spiritualty, he still has time to be a father figure to his brother Mogie's son, Herbie. Although the stress of his job leads him into being a vigilante when the murder of a young boy goes unsolved and ignored by the FBI, Rudy reaches inside himself and finds a balance through prayer, ceremonies & family. Without revealing too much about the film, I must comment that this is the first film ever to show a Lakota wake as it really is.(I know, because I have been to many of them) The film is in many aspects as close to real as a film could get about the situation on Pine Ridge reservation. Eyre recieved a standing ovation at the premiere at Eccles Theatre in Park City at the Sundance Film Festival. (Which incidentally was attended by Mr. Robert Redford, himself, who seemed to thoroughly enjoy the film!) Congrats to Chris Eyre, the entire cast & crew!
