A myrid of interviews, extracts from Hollywood films, opions and predjudices are linked by a strange - surrealist - dream sequence where a young Native American woman undergoes dental surgery at the hands of a patronising, 'white' dentist. At first, she is anaethetised, vulnerable and passive in the belief that it's all for her own good. But as she drifts in and out of consciousness, trying to focus on the cowboy-and-Indian posters on the dentist's wall, Indians discuss how Hollywood created its own version of Native American culture - a white perversion of their past. The woman becomes more and more tense. An elder insists that spiritual ceremonies have been exploited as Native Americans are asked to sell the sacred aspects of their existence as art: their culture has become a marketable commodity. Tribal communities question what is being compromised, destroyed, lost and sold. Finally the woman turns on the dentist and the camera lens with one of the dentist's tools, in a move to fight back at the injustices her race has suffered at the hands of white Americans.
