Director: MICHAEL LINN

Shayla Stonefeather (Tonantzin Carmelo), a Native American attorney prosecuting a Lakota teen in a controversial murder trial, returns home to the Pine Ridge reservation in the South Dakota badlands to visit her dying father. Strange visions and ghostly voices propel her on a journey she doesn’t expect.

Though Shayla initially rejects a spiritual explanation for her experiences, she begins to uncover what she believes is a link between the visions and her brother’s disappearance two years earlier.

Determined to get to the bottom of the mystery, Shayla deliberately confronts and follows the apparitions, leading her to a horrifying revelation and a purpose she could never have forseen.

*Winner of three American Indian Film Festival Awards (Best Film, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress). Produced on digital by Chris Eyre and Carolyn Linn, leading figures in Native American film production. (Smoke Signals)

I enjoyed this film – it

I enjoyed this film – it had a very interesting story and good character development. The twist at the end was something I hadn’t seen coming. The main actress was wonderful in her role. The production values were not as crisp, but the story and the characters made up for any shortcomings. Also gave a glimpse into the struggle in the Native American society in the modern world.

Last week, we published a story in which Minneapolis city officials talked about how well the city finances stacked up during the current recession, because Minneapolis did not have major stock market holdings. This week, Mayor R.T. Rybak and City Council President Barbara Johnson proposed a hiring freeze because of — you guessed it — stock market losses. MORE »

Todo sobre mi bicicleta

By James Sanna and Cass Sanford , TC Daily Planet

This summer, it seemed like everyone was riding a bike.

It felt like The Twin Cities, Land of the Bicycle, where Thor cruises on his Schwinn World Tour. MORE »

Advise and Dissent: Noel Nix

By Emily Bright , TC Daily Planet

What would you like to tell president-elect Barack Obama? Advise and Dissent features Minnesota opinions on what the new president should be thinking and doing.

Mr. President, this country needs you to truly govern in a bipartisan way—even when it gets hard and everyone from the left or from the right is attacking you—in order to bring about a change in the tone of politics. That’s easier said than done, I know. “Bipartisan” has become something of a cliché term, but true bipartisanship is something that we desperately need right now, to help us remember that we are part of something bigger than ourselves, bigger than just the group of people who agree with us.
