Thomas Builds-the-Fire with a fine example of the oral tradition. Chris Eyre’s 'Smoke Signals,' which was filmed on the Coeur d’Alene Reservation in northwestern Idaho, follows two young men made into brothers by circumstance who reluctantly band together to retrieve their father’s ashes. While not the first film created by Native filmmakers, 'Smoke Signals' is recognized as being the first feature-length film written, directed, and co-produced by Indigenous Americans to reach a broad audience both in the US and abroad. In 2018, it was added to the National Film Registry for its cultural significance to film history. #smokesignals #evanadams #adambeach #indigenousfilm #indigenousmovies #chriseyre #comingofage #comingofagemovie #comedy #drama #90smovies #moviescene #filmclips
