How have Hollywood's images of Native Americans changed?

How have Hollywood's images of Native Americans changed -- and how has the public consciousness changed with it? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about the changing ways Native Americans have been portrayed in popular culture. The 35th American Indian Film Festival opens in San Francisco on Friday. What are the images -- and stereotypes -- of Native Americans in media and film? How have they changed? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. Where does your understanding of Native Americans come from? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Michael Smith, founder and president of American Indian Film Festival

Jack Kohler, director of "Behind the Door of a Secret Girl"

Ernest Webb, president of Rezolution Pictures and producer of "Reel Injun"
