Real Indian
A film by Malinda Maynor

Grades 6 and up

'Real Indian' presents filmmaker Malinda Maynor’s reflections on growing up a Lumbee Indian girl. With wit and intelligence, she confronts stereotypes about Native Americans and comments on how both whites and native people have continued to perpetuate them. Ideal for discussions on U.S.-Native American history, 'Real Indian' lays bare the effects of cultural labeling on self-identity within Native communities.
