La Justice du Faucon

I'm no critic, but I know what I like. I am American Indian and this film spoke to me on 2 levels. As a woman, I liked the idea that Ryah Shadowfeather did not need anyone to help rescue her or avenge her parents' murders. I think it also gives the non-Indian a look at some very real problems still faced today on the rez. Rachel McLish may not win an Oscar, but I saw the anger in her face and the rage that lived inside her character. Overall, I like the premise that change will not come from the outside but from within ourselves as a result of inner courage, strength and pride.
