TRAILER RELEASED FOR HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DOCUMENTARY FILM ‘YOU’RE NO INDIAN’
The official trailer for ‘You’re No Indian’, the groundbreaking documentary that delves into the complex and heart-wrenching world of tribal disenrollment, is now available to the public. Directed by [Your Name], this film challenges perceptions and ignites a critical conversation about identity, community, and the weaponization of fear.
The documentary shines a spotlight on the stories of thousands who have been forcibly stripped of their tribal membership—a practice that has displaced over 11,000 individuals from their communities. Through compelling interviews and firsthand accounts, ‘You’re No Indian’captures the courage and resilience of those fighting to protect their heritage, culture, and identity in the face of greed and silence.
Highlights from the film include:
• The story of a tribe’s last fluent language speaker, whose language school was shut down amid waves of disenrollment.
• The harrowing account of a family forced to exhume loved ones to prove their ancestry, only to face rejection despite passing DNA tests.
• Inspiring moments of resistance, such as EJ Crandell’s successful effort to reinstate disenrolled members and the enduring cultural practices of the Nooksack 306.
“Disenrollment is a tool of fear and greed, one that silences entire communities,” said the film’s director. “Our hope is to inspire bravery and solidarity—not only among indigenous people but within society as a whole—to confront this issue head-on. As Gabe Galanda says, ‘There is no justification for disenrollment. PERIOD.’”
The trailer provides a glimpse into the raw emotional depth and compelling storytelling of the film, which seeks to foster understanding, encourage solidarity, and spark actionable change.
Audiences have described ‘You’re No Indian’ as a “wake-up call” and a “moving exploration of what it means to belong.” The film not only sheds light on a troubling practice but also serves as a testament to the enduring strength of culture and identity.
