Nowa Cumig, better known by his English name Dennis Banks, has started a movement with a few friends that would soon make ripples through history : the American Indian Movement. The taking of Alcatraz, the Custer Riots, the B.I.A. takeover, and the Wounded Knee siege are all events that have since marked the rise of indigenous rights in the United States. Leonard Peltier, Floyd Red Crow Westerman, Russell Means, the Bellecourt brothers, Sacheen Littlefeather... all names that would go into the history books. But where did Dennis Banks -or Nowa Cumig- get this fire to lead the fight? What came before these events, and most importantly what followed them? This film endeavors to look at the bigger picture by opening a door into the life of one of the most influential men in Native American history, using archival footage from films such as "Last Stop Before Wounded Knee" and " The Drum Will Never Stop", photographs by Richard Erdoes and excerpts from his and Dennis' book, "Ojibwa Warrior". The film is narrated by actor, artist and activist Michael Horse. Written by Marie-Michele Jasmin-Belisle See less
