For one‚ I learned that many of the customs that modern Native Americans have are very similar to my others. I also saw that the family life of the Native Americans in the film had many of the same problems

    Smoke Signals: A Metaphor for Telling It has been countless years since I have watched a movie about Native Americans‚ and even longer since I have witnessed a decent one. Most films on the subject of the Native American people are often set in the past and are habitually on the subject of brave Indian warriors. I had never viewed a Native American motion picture filmed in a present day setting‚ dealing with contemporary issues until I watched Smoke Signals. In the movie Smoke Signals‚ co-producer
