Buffy Sainte-Marie Narrates New Film Showing “Settlement of America from Indigenous Perspective”
“A story of historical truth, spirituality, and resistance, told on behalf of the original nations and peoples of Great Turtle Island, and elsewhere on Mother Earth. We are still here, and still rightfully free.” [x]
- The Doctrine of Discovery: Unmasking the Domination Code (USA, 2014, 60 min | Dir. Sheldon Wolfchild)
About the Film:
“We are depending on social media to help promote [the] film.” - director Sheldon Wolfchild [x]
“Dakota filmmaker Sheldon Wolfchild’s compelling documentary is premised on a book based on two decades of research by Shawnee, Lenape scholar Steven T.Newcomb. The film tells the story of how little known Vatican documents of the fifteenth century resulted in a tragic global momentum of domination and dehumanization. This led to law systems in the United States and Canada and elsewhere in the world, that are still being used against Original Nations and Peoples to this day.” [x]
“Features interviews with Indigenous scholars, leaders and activists from around the world, as well as Christian theologians and pastors.” [x]
Get more information and buy the DVD at the official website.

My first exposure to a trans woman of color in the media was the Lifetime movie, A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story.
This movie was a biography of Gwen Araujo’s life. She was a teenaged trans Latina who was murdered when boys stripped her clothes off and saw her penis.
I was twelve years old when I watched this murder of a young trans girl – and this story, sadly, has only multiplied in the decade since.
Gun Hill Road was another film with a young trans Black-Latina who had a traumatic relationship with her father. I cry every time I watch this movie because it hits too close to home.
And I’m tired of that.
I’m tired of constantly having media reflect the too painful parts of my story. I’m exhausted by the scenes that focus on us stuffing our bras and hips, painting our lips and fixing our hair.
I would love to watch a movie with a trans woman of color who’s a chef, happily partnered with a lovely dog. Or maybe she’s an intergalactic warrior saving alien planets and beings from huge star explosions.
Simply, I’d love a story that doesn’t focus on the trauma that we’ve experienced.

Oh, Sandra Bland.
We knew they were going to deny you any justice and against our better judgment, we held out the hope that some tiny, human part of them might have surfaced.
But that which is absent cannot float.
We’re so sorry.
