CALIFORNIA INDIAN

Nick Thomas, a Pomo Indian and a successful Los Angeles radio host, is forced back to the reservation to help his brother Chi (Gil Birmingham), and tribal leader Rich Knight (Gary Farmer) lead the Tule Lake Rancheria out of danger from a seedy casino investor (Mark Boone Jr.), ultimately claiming sovereignty of their Native American rights.

The struggles inherent on reservations today are depicted in this day-in-the-life drama based on true characters and events.  The film dispels current stereotypes and myths about modern Native American culture while showcasing the depths of the heritage that thrives today.
