Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond takes an entertaining and insightful look at the
Hollywood Indian, exploring the portrayal of North American Natives through a
century of cinema.
Travelling through the heartland of America, Diamond looks at how the myth of
“the Injun” has influenced the world’s understanding – and misunderstanding – of
Natives.
With clips from hundreds of classic and recent films, and candid interviews
with celebrated Native and non-Native directors, writers, actors and activists,
including Clint Eastwood, Robbie Robertson,
Sacheen Littlefeather, John Trudell and
Russell Means, Reel Injun traces the
evolution of cinema’s depiction of Native people from the silent film era to
present day.
Neil Diamond, Director/Writer
One of Canada’s foremost Aboriginal filmmakers and photographers, Neil
Diamond hails from the Cree community of Waskaganish. His recent credits include
The
Last Explorer, a feature-length docudrama retracing the steps of his
great uncle, Aboriginal guide George Elson, on an ill-fated voyage into the
heart of uncharted Labrador.
Neil also directed the award-winning documentaries One More River
and Heavy Metal: A Mining Disaster in Northern Quebec.

Stephanie Donald from New Brunswick submitted these two shots below.
She said:
"I took both photos in Jasper when I was there March 2 and 3 while on a wildlife tour.
The first photo is taken while driving on the #16 in the direction of Hinton. The second is taken while stopped on the Maligne Lake Road.
Although short, my trip was fabulous and I can't wait to get back! It is an amazing part of the country."
