I could watch this movie over and over again , Every time i watch it i get so worked up , my feelings vary from angry too heartbroken ; Dokota House was amazing , simply a great actor with a role of a life time.
I've seen tons of native American movies , but none like this i can recall my uncles talking about this very event.. i loved to just sit around and listen too their stories knowing how big of a shock it must of been , wishing i was there too witness it all take place ..
but what i really was getting too with this post , before i rambled on is could someone please get me the songs that are played threw out the movie? , i can never catch them in the end credits .

This was the best portrayal i have ever seen Dakota House do.
I think the family of Dudley George should be very proud of this movie which will hopefully bring more awareness to all the wrong doings of our justice system. With more movies about aboriginals being mistreated by the police perhaps it will open up enough eyes to make some good changes to our hypocritical justice system.
Could there possibly be a movie in the making about the starlight tour victims??????????????PLEASE!!!
In closing, I'd just like to say Dakota House should get a Grammy award for his performance in this movie.....and all the other actors were awesome too....I cried through the last hour!!!

This is a decent movie of the week. It is nothing special like most dramatic movie of the week shows, with a limited budget and some overacting by some of the actors etc. It is a bit too melodramatic at times but it is still believably dramatic because it is based on the real events of Dudley George and the standoff that happened. This is good to watch because it shows a lot of the events that happened during the standoff and we all know what happens but it shows how things got to where they did, and why. I'm not sure how accurate and true the story is because I don't know that much about it but it's a good story with some real drama and you could do a lot worse with your time than watching this made for TV movie.
It was hard to watch this, remembering the events, the places and the people so well. I wish that more had been shown about the events leading up to that terrible night, but the complicity of government officials was at least pointed out. I found the whole thing too low key, but noted that several actors indeed got the strength and humour of the people. Dakota House did a pretty decent job of Dudley, while Gary Farmer was very good as Judas, and Jennifer Podemski was brilliant at recreating Gina's reactions to the shooting of her son on the bus. For anyone who thinks the bus was sensationalized, I saw it a few days after the events, and I was amazed those two kids didn't die. Like I said, it was too low key - this was a night of horror that continues to haunt many people, but we only really felt it in brief seconds when Dudley was arriving at the hospital and Gina and Judas were trying to get help for their son. At least you saw that these were real people, good people, who had a real injustice to fight and that the way things played out was a blot on the name of Ontario institutions and all Canadians.
Let's look at this TV movie from an analysis of it's director and principal performers.
Director Tim Southam - At times, he tries to be Hitchcock and Tarentino but mostly he tries to develop of his own Canadian style. His Hitchcockian touches include a firecracker scene teasing the audience into envisioning the inevitable gunshots. His Tarentinian touches include an opening scene whose blurred and frantic camera work is reminiscent of "Reservoir Dogs"( or "21 Grams") where Dudley's sister is racing to the hospital with her brother's bleeding body in the back and serves as the link between present scenes and flashbacks. His own personal touches include the incorporation of Native American culture in his film such as sweet grass smudging and pow-wow music. One poignant scene has the Gary Farmer character being smudged with sweet grass as a legal oath of honesty. This is neatly contrasted with Sgt. Deane, the white O.P.P., who is later sworn in with the Bible.
Gary Farmer(SMOKE SIGNALS) His character is the wise elder who reminds the youth on a scene by a lake shore, that the Ipperwash conflict is not a culmination of past struggles (60 years by the movie's account) but it is more a promise for future claims. He, Dudley George and the other Chippewa protesters are doing all this for their future.
Dakota House("North of Sixty")- He is perfectly cast as Dudley George, the self proclaimed "natural born a**hole", who moons the cops while flipping them profanities and the bird. Dudley's legacy is not due to any heroic or honourable deed. The legacy is in the ensuing inquiry where the justice department, in a move I pray will be copied, shows that there are not two separate laws, one for the Indians and one for the Government and Police Force, which was the concern of Dudley's brother Sam.
Eric Schweig(THE MISSING) - Eric Schweig plays Sam George, Dudley's brother. His performance here is strong enough. However, anyone who saw the similarly themed TV movie "Cowboys and Indians: The J.J. Harper Story" will experience deja vu as Schweig plays virtually the same character: the torment brother of the slain Indian protagonist who has visions of his brother's spirit throughout.
Gordon Tootoosis(LONE STAR) - Fans of Gordon Tootoosis will be disappointed that Gary Farmer got the wise elder role and Tootoosis' character will be best remembered as the dirty old man who flirts awkwardly with the female cop. He does have one serious scene where he talks to Dudley on the bus on the night of the shooting. We find in this scene that Dudley was on the verge of overcoming his troublesome past at the time of the shooting, but this scene is unmemorable and Tootoosis's talents are wasted.
Gabrielle Miller("Corner Gas") - She plays an aide to Ontario premier Harris. Her story seems to be a totally useless subtext. At the end of the film, before the credits, there is a "JFK" conspiracy moment that partly justifies this subtext but mostly this whole subtext belongs in a documentary. (See DEATH AT IPPERWASH)
Overall, "One Dead Indian" is an adept portrait of a story that promises to be an important jigsaw piece in the puzzle of First Nations justice.
