unsettling walk through the past
I really didn’t know what this film was about and hadn’t heard about it before watching it. I was just hunting for something to watch on Netflix and here was this film. Within the first minute or so of the film I was mildly surprised to see “white earth reservation” appear on the screen and I was hooked.

It was a difficult movie to watch–to see what goes on behind some closed doors– things you sense, things you just sorta know because you’ve lived or bore witness to somewhat similar circumstances yourself at one time in life.

The places in the film are old stomping grounds for me–been to every place and tribal building shown in this film. When viewed through a camera lens the film captures the subtle beauty of this part of the world. It also captures the isolation.

There is a pine point on every reservation I have ever been to, including my own village of origin. Its tough to look at, it may even be shocking if you’ve never seen it before.

I don’t think showing what goes on behind some of the closed doors in neighborhoods like Pine Point is shaming or a reflection of the whole. What you see is real and I like that there is no pontificating or forced narrative driving the film. You just see a truth. A truth that has to be addressed if things are to change.

This problem of drugs and the cycle of addiction is not exclusive to AI communities. I could take you to neighborhoods in Bemidji, Cloquet etc. where the same story is playing out in predominantly white neighborhoods. It may be the government housing that makes it easier to pinpoint and centralize on reservations.

There is a difference though–the reason for the cycle in AI communities has different roots. You glimpse some of the root causes and the pain that creates this cycle in the film. You also glimpse how intractable it is The film doesn’t really offer answers. You simply get an opportunity to come to know some of those who live and grow up in this pattern.

The lack of a message or arc to the film is unsettling. You want it to mean something or resolve in some way. For me, I guess if I wanted to find a message in the film, perhaps its the title.

Perhaps those who break the cycle will eventually lead the way out of this pattern. I hope so–for both those who shared their lives in the film and for AI communities as a whole.

Definitely worth seeing.

There’s more to Pine Point than this movie portrays.
The community of Pine Point viewed the film and believes it portrays a very incomplete impression of the Pine Point Community. The Pine Point Community Council gave a statement that it does not endorse the film as representative of the Pine Point Community at large. The film shows a very negative side of the community. We are not saying that these problems of drug abuse, alcohol and gang activity don’t exist, every community has these problems. It seems that this film is consistent with the usual media practice of highlighting this lifestyle on an Indian Reservation. And the general public thinks that all Natives live like this. This is unfortunate because the behavior that is portrayed in the film is a small fraction of the overall community behavior, and the film fails to highlight the vast spectrum of positive behavior in the community. For instance, the image of the car burning in the street happened to be a demolition derby car that was in the Rez car parade. Positive community events like: a drug and alcohol free music festival, annual pow wow, community Christmas dinner, Veterans dinner, haunted house at the old school, demolition derby, rez car parade, community picnics, weekly community fire, family fun day activities are not portrayed. The community council recently paid off a $50,000 loan that helped build the pow wow ground and softball field. The title of the film does not tell the true meaning of the Ojibwe culture and spirituality. Nor does the film show the true Ojibwe prophecy of the Seventh Fire. This leaves the viewer with a vastly incomplete understanding of our community. There are many natives from the community that enjoy a life of sobriety and there are those who are affected by drugs and alcohol who continue to fight to straighten their lives out and live the Red Road of sobriety.
