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.
Living in western SD and having hunted deeded land within the Pine Ridge Reservation I can attest to the dogs, garbage, junk, and conditions.

I don't remember there being stray dogs on the flathead reservation. Or lots of boats in yards or any of the other crap listed here. I know there is none of that on the Onandaga reservation. The Crow reservation is a shyt hole though so I don't believe you can paint with a broad brush.
Maybe too cold in those places, for them to make a living? In the SW, and Mexico, I've seen dogs running rampant.

It’s been 30 years since I was last on the Pine Ridge Rez. What a schitthole.

Someone posted the shoot out scene a while back. Makes me not want to be in a shootout. Very true. When I was working with the Milwaukee PD Firearms Training Unit a number of years ago one of the FTU instructors (who had BTDT) said, "We are training you today how to come out on top in an Officer Involved Shooting. You never, ever want to be involved in a gunfight." I've been using that in my classes ever since.

One of my all time favorites. It should be mandatory watching for every American.
kwg Agreed. It's a powerful film, one of the few that has even attempted to portray Native Americans in anything approximating realistic manner.

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.

A lot of mistakes made, the Leo in that situation. I know it was a movie but at least they showed one guy understanding what was fixing to go down.

I was impressed by the guy who answered the trailer door while strung out on something, shortly thereafter killed in a shootout. There ought be an award category for best bit part actor.
Couple of things in the movie you gotta suspend disbelief as the term goes, like the fact that an FBI agent can kill someone without the whole investigation becoming a huge production but a great, well cast movie overall.

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.
