*& Presentation*

Restored in 2008 //The Exiles// 
<http://www.milestonefilms.com/movie.php/exiles/> (1961) is an 
incredible feature film by Kent MacKenzie chronicling a day in the life 
of a group of twenty-something Native Americans who left reservation 
life in the 1950s to live in the district of Bunker Hill, Los Angeles, 
California. Following the 72-minute film held in the auditorium, John 
Cutnose (Cheyenne/Lakota) speaks and answers questions about his 
experiences as an Indian living in the L.A. area. "These Indians are 
exiles-from their broken society, their reservations, and themselves-and 
we feel it ... hearing their musings on their lives ... this film 
deserves the embrace of a film public hungering for original, homegrown 
independent films that tell us who we are."-Marilyn Ferdinand, //Bright 
Lights Film Journal
