"I would not watch a film called 'Our spirits don't speak English' any more than I would attend a KKK knees-up. And I know I am not alone."
I missed this earlier on. So you're actually making judgement on a film you've not even watched? If you cannot even be bothered to watch the clip below either, then I have nothing further to add to any of your comments, for they are built on hollow ground.
Here is the most moving 5 minutes of the film 'Our Spirits Don't Speak English' and it is from this clip the title was born. Andrew Windyboy speaks, with tears streaming down his face, of how he cannot even remember any of his Cree language, for they beat it out of him. If *ever* he spoke his Native Tongue he was beaten for it, by those who deemed themselves to be acting for 'God'...and the reason he is so deeply distressed is that he now feels he can no longer speak to The Spirits in his own language, in the language he feels they understand, so therefore, I'd imagine he feels entirely cut off from a huge part of his Soul.
It is one of the most moving things I have ever seen.
