"Begins in Surrey England where Laurence Paul Yuxweluptun is performing 'An Indian shooting the Indian Act,' a performance piece protesting the ongoing influence of the Indian Act of 1868 that confined Native peoples to reservations, outlawed their languages, destroyed their land rights and denied them the vote. A profile of this Salish artist whose work deals with ozone depletion, land claims, Aboriginal rights, clear-cut logging and racism. A portrait of Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun, an artist and a traditional Salish dancer, whose works reflect the history and the realities in First Nation communities. Through images of Yuxweluptun's artwork, the landscape, and interviews, this innovative film provides a glimpse into Salish culture, a view of contemporary First Nations' art making, and the politics of the artist."
