Smoke Signals - 1 star

Smoke Signals is "Native American 101." They amiteurishly walk you through what it is like to be an Indian. They use lines like, "We're Indians. We barter." to obviously explain why the characters like to trade stories or other goods instead of using paper money. Another memorably bad line after Thomas tells a story was "That's an excellent example of our oral tradition." It's storytelling style is probably a good film for a 12 year old audience, but not for adults. I fell asleep.
