DESCRIPTION:\nFilm evenings begin with optional potluck refreshments and social hour at 
  6:30 pm,\nfollowed by the film at  7:30 pm, followed by a discussion after 
 the film.\n\nIf Only I were an Indian\nBy John Paskievich\n\nThis 
 interesting Canadian documentary examines the fascination Europeans hold 
 for Native American culture by having three representatives from the 
 Canadian tribes of Cree and Ojibwa visit a Czech and Slovak retreat where 
 the guests faithfully recreate the cultures and life styles of Indian 
 people.  Interviews with both the Indians and the “White Wampum” 
 Eastern Europeans follow. The Europeans maintain a deep interest in North 
 American Native cultures, and live deep in the forests of central Europe;  
 the several hundred members of the Canadian tribes live in teepees and 
 dress in loincloths, feathers, and moccasins.  Diverse issues are brought 
 out in this melancholy experiment:  radical environmentalism, cultural 
 appropriation, colonialism, and over-identification with the Other, 
 subverting accepted wisdoms of tradition versus modernity. The film’s 
 greatest irony — that the Europeans who once crossed the ocean to conquer 
 a culture, now see that same culture as their only salvation.\n\nWheelchair

 accepted\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/03/30/18643381.php
