It’s Columbus Day. Over the years, Columbus Day has become something of a Rorschach test on what you think about our history with Native Americans or First Nations peoples. There are lots of places today where indigenous cultures are fighting to survive. Today, we continue our occasional series Images, Movies and Race with a look at media representations of Native Americans. Worldview film contributor Milos Stehlik speaks with Dorene Wiese.
