Contrary Warriors: A Film of the Crow Tribe (1985)
Directed by Connie Poten
Overview
Examines the impact a century of struggling for survival has on a native people. It weaves the Crow tribe’s turbulent past with modern-day accounts from Robert Yellow-tail, a 97-year-old Crow leader and a major reason for the tribe’s survival. Poverty and isolation combine with outside pressures to undermine the tribe, but they resist defeat as “Contrary Warriors,” defying the odds.
