I thought it was a good movie that brought to light how awful they are to each other, and the dangers for native american females.
Watched it for the first time last night.
Yeah, it's a screwed up situation for some native females. The reservations are sovereign nations though, and can regulate their own internal affairs. Doesn't seem like it'll get fixed, or even improved, unless it's done from the inside.
There are some parts of their current culture that need to be done away with. The treatment of each other and especially females is one of them. I could go on and on about the culture but it needs to fixed from within and part of the tribal members do not want it fixed.
I see their way out as financial success, which will foster a cultural revival. Save the culture and history while embracing capitalism. If Pine Ridge would get organized, they could be a tourism powerhouse and reap the benefits of tourism dollars wanting to see the culture.
But tourist do not want to stay in dangerous schiitholes.
