Charley Squash Goes to Town

• 1970 ----- color ----- 4 min ----- 16mm
• A satirical animated film that, in a gentle, restrained way, resists the idea that it is the manifest destiny of Indian boys and girls to follow the advice of "well-meaning" Indians and whites to work hard at school and in society to be "like everybody else." The film, from idea to screen, is largely the work of Duke Redbird, an articulate young Cree Indian.
• Topics: (American Indian Studies, Motion Pictures: Animation)
