"It's a good day to be indigenous." From Sherman Alexie's book and movie Smoke Signals

Abstract: (6 pp) The movie (1999) was billed as the first American all-Indian made - written, acted and produced movie. And everyone appeared astounded that it was (is) very good. It has been adapted from Alexie's book of short stories called The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fight in Heaven. Our assignment is to look both at the movie and at the book and determine the dramatic strengths and weaknesses of one version compared to another.
