This is a funny, rhymed poem spoken by three Indians, immersed in the white world, with tons of little video clips from our past film history. The poem talks about Indians as they are in reality, compared to what they are in the imagination of our culture. Thomas King, the writer and director of this short, is of mixed white and Indian descent. An author, a lot of his writing, as well as this video, mixes the perspectives of the cultures. This short video is "Indian-centric" and it's got this funny, kind of sardonic, tone running under it, like water. If IMDb deletes the link to his video, you can find it in the NSI (National Screen Institute), which is a government agency of Canada, in their March 2012 folder. http://www.nsi-canada.ca/2012/03/im-not-the-indian-you-had-in-mind/
