Starblanket

Brittain, Donald, (film director.). Brittain, Donald, (film producer.). Smith, John N., (film producer.). National Film Board of Canada (Montreal), (film producer.).

Summary: At twenty-six, Noel Starblanket is one of the youngest Indigenous chiefs in North America--twice elected chief of the Starblanket Reserve, and also elected vice-president of all-Saskatchewan Indigenous organization. His great-grandfather's advice was to "learn the wit and cunning of the White man." That he did. Here he is seen in action, a chief with a briefcase, working with government officials for grants, running for public office, talking down his opposition, and solving the domestic problems of his reserve.
