Trade Review"Hearne's book is a cogent and valuable addition to the body of work on
Smoke Signals and Native cinema. . . . Her extremely detailed reading of the film, her trenchant analysis of the strategies it uses to speak to multiple audiences, and her examination of the current state of Native cinema make this a valuable resource for both teachers and scholars."—Laura Beadling,
