Alexie hated his own people because of the way we portray them.
“I watched the movies and saw the kind of Indian I was supposed to be.”
“I mean, I knew I could never be as brave, as strong, as wiser as visionary, as white as the Indians in the movies.”
Look what we have done to this rich culture. It amazes me how we can make a whole race feel bad about themselves.

I watch the first episode today and I am not sure how I feel about it yet. I need to see more epidodes before I can say if I like it or not however, right now I am not to thrilled about it. Hopes it gets better.
I wonder...*does* he hate his race? It struck me that he objected much more to the way his race was portrayed than to his culture itself...
ReplyDeleteYes I agree that he hates the way his race was portrayed but I think now he sees his people as not being good enough.
