THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2002 The 27th annual American Indian Film Festival kicked off this past weekend in San Francisco, California. Michael Smith began the event in 1975 because he was tired of seeing how the mainstream media represents indigenous people. "The images on television were not a part of what I saw of myself as an Indian person," he told The Lincoln Journal Star. "We saw television that was nothing but non-Indians in red face and black wigs." The eight-day festival ends Thursday. An estimated 5,000 will see more than 65 films from the U.S. and Canada.
