Rez Politics - In a field in Montana, two ten-year-old boys are fighting over their perception of one another's mixed-race heritage. Gerald comes from Black American Indian heritage, and Curtis comes from white American Indian heritage. As the boys fight, they reveal more about their family's lives. Rez Politics wrestles with internalized racism and cost of social division on young people. The Council tells the story about how Man was able to evolve with the help of the nations of animals that lived in harmony with one another. However, as Man and his nation grow, their harmony with animals quickly diminishes. A fable that inspects humanity's relationship to nature.
