Legacy of Exiled NDNZ © 2014 series discusses the historical U.S. policy of the relocation of Indians to urban environments in the 1950s through the 1960s, and the legacy it has created through today. It provides a narrative of seven native adults currently living in Los Angeles, shot in a neorealist visual aesthetic reminiscent of Kent Mackenzie’s 1961 film, The Exiles.
