They told us we would see America come and go. In a sense, America died from within, because it forgot the instructions for living on Mother Earth. This is the Hopi belief, it's our belief, that if you don't have a spiritual connection with the Earth, and you don't understand the spiritual reality of how to live on Earth, chances are you will not make it.
Everything is spiritual, everything has a morale. Everything is spiritual. Everything has a spirit. Everything… everything was brought here by the Creator – the one Creator. Some people call Him “God,” some people call Him “Buddha,” some people call Him “Allah,” some people call Him other names. We call Him “Concachilla”… “Grandfather.”  We’re here on earth… only a few winters. Then, we go to the Spirit World. The Spirit World is more real than most of us believe. The Spirit World is everything.
The world of the soul is everything. Most of our bodies are water. To stay healthy, you need to drink pure water. Water is sacred, air is sacred. Our DNA is made of DNA just like the tree, the tree breathes what we exhale, we need what the tree expires. So we have a common fate with the tree. We are all of the Earth, and when the Earth, its water, and its atmosphere are metamorphosed, the Earth will make its own. The mother reacts.
In the Hopi prophecy, it is said that storms and floods will get bigger and bigger. It's not bad for me to know that there will be big changes. It's not negative, it's evolution. When you see it as an Evolution, you understand that the time has come, nothing stays the same. You should learn how to grow something. This is the first connection. You should see everything as God, realize that we are a family. No never ends. Everything is life and there is no end to life.
- Floyd "Red Crow" Westerman, South Dakota native musician, actor and fighter.

Clearcut (1991)
Tumblr media
“Someone has to pay.”  But who, and in what form?  If we’re talking about reality in this sort of affair, those who foot the bill are often First Nations peoples, their land footing the bill as mining and logging companies pillage with abandon.  But in his anger, lawyer Peter Maguire wishes for something bloodier.  Perhaps it’s turn of phrase or frustration, but newcomer Arthur is all too willing to partake in the lawyer’s wish to exact his pound of flesh from the owner of the mill.  Potentially Wisakedjak, a chaotic trickster entity, he is wholly freed from what Peter would consider to be his moral compass.  He brings the two White men through a forested hell, pressing their endurance and choices to the limits.
In many ways, Clearcut shares parallels with Robin Hardy’s Wicker Man.  Arriving at the beginning in the same fashion by seaplane, Maguire is an ineffectual neoliberal lawyer rather than a devout Catholic policeman.  He goes through a discovery process of local customs, enduring a fiery baptism of his ordeals and expressing moral outrage at what he sees.  Clearcut approaches its central issue with more shades of grey than Wicker Man, forcing the viewer to consider moral ambiguity in fighting for large-scale issues such as environmentalism.  Maguire begins as an awkward ally figure, stumbling along the way, but holding what he believes is a campaign for a noble cause.  Yet he is still part of the legal establishment.  As the film goes on, his character becomes darker, from condescending savior to willfully silent bystander.  His lack of action does nothing but further a cycle of suffering.  This film can be contextualized by something like the Oka Crisis, but in more contemporary reading bears in mind the scope of atrocities committed at residence schools finally being brought to light and acknowledged after so many years, which makes it all the more chilling.
Sweat lodge sequences form the majority of the most performative horror in the film, linking the experience to native customs.  Maguire’s first ritual follows the orthodox practices, but leads to a nightmare as he prays with rage and anger.  Arthur/Wisakedjak enacts a dark parallel of this at the characters’ lowest point, substituting heated stones and steam for toxic smoke and libations with the pipe for severing his fingers and cutting his flesh.
THE RULES
SIP
Someone says ‘appeal’.
The road is mentioned.
Someone tumbles down a hill.
The beeper goes off.
BIG DRINK
The suitcase appears onscreen.
A hallucination sequence begins.
Someone gets tied up with duct tape.

There is an ancient Indian saying that something lives only as long as the last person who remembers it. My people have come to trust memory over history. Memory, like fire, is radiant and immutable while history serves only those who seek to control it, those who douse the flame of memory in order to put out the dangerous fire of truth. Beware these men for they are dangerous themselves and unwise. Their false history is written in the blood of those who might remember and of those who seek the truth. — Floyd Red Crow Westerman

The water is sacred. The air is sacred. Our DNA is made of the same DNA as the tree. The tree breathes what we exhale. When the tree exhales we need what the tree exhales, so we have a common destiny with the tree… We are all from the Earth.
