NATIVE AMERICAN
HISTORY AND CULTURE

FIRST NATION BLUE

This documentary, narrated by Graham Greene, takes us behind the bullet-proof vests of police officers serving Native American communities to uncover changing attitudes. Some of the officers are Native and were raised in the very communities they serve. The three officers featured reveal that instead of being outsiders forcing the people to change, the police are now adapting themselves to address the needs of Native peoples.  

We see the intimate relationships the officers have with the community and how they deal with delicate, potentially violent situations.  Reveled is the effect this work has on the officers' lives. The difficulty is compounded for these police who struggle to maintain their cultural integrity while working among thier Native people, dealing with high rates of suicide, substance abuse, and child neglect.
