Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, by Dee Brown, came out in the 1970s. This coming weekend, HBO will air a drama called Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.
As I describe the HBO film, I hesitate to say "Dee Brown's" Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, because HBO is playing fast and loose with Dee Brown's book. Some of you may have read the review of the film in the New York Times, but you should also seek out Native perspectives on the film.
You can start with these recent articles from Indian Country Today:
'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee' debuts on HBO
HBO's 'Wounded Knee' movie makes positive contribution
The film provides the opportunity to discuss Native history, but also, the ways that HBO plays with history to turn this book into a drama.
