An eye-opening article reveals how Native American actors, writers, and producers from Oklahoma masterminded a complete transformation in the way Americans see 'Indians' on the screen. There's even an 'actor's-eye view, ' penned by a screenwriter for the movie Dan Turner, Hollywood Detective and a bit player in Vigilante Blood, both shot in Tulsa."--Publisher's description.
