TCM's Native American Images On Film in MAY

[rkolinski]

Joining TCM host Robert Osborne in presenting the films will be Professor Hanay Geiogamah, director of the American Indian Studies Center at UCLA. The films and introductions will explore a different topic each night, including the evolution of Native American depictions by director John Ford (May 4), non-Indians in Indian roles (May 6), Indians as enemies (May 11), white men living among Indians (May 13), Indians as “noble savages” (May 18), Native Americans facing racism (May 20), Native American actors and filmmakers (May 25) and images from outside Hollywood (May 27).

Geiogamah has, among other things, produced several original movies presented by TCM sister network TNT, including Geronimo (1993), Tecumseh: The Last Warrior (1995) and Crazy Horse (1996). He recently co-executive produced the feature film The Only Good Indian, which premiered at last year’s Sundance Film Festival.

I went through the May channel schedule at TCM and used the IMDb to research the release date for each film.
