American Indian Studies' Featured Publication is Winter in the Blood: A Case for Maintaining Cultural Content in Adaptations of Indigenous Stories by Amy Fatzinger.

Filmmakers who adapt Indigenous novels and stories for the screen are likely to face some complex decisions related to the story’s connection to a specific place and language, as well as issues related to casting, potentially intense social and political issues, and conflict resolution that is appropriate for the cultural context. In their 2013 adaptation of James Welch’s 1974 novel Winter in the Blood, however, Alex and Andrew Smith address rise to the challenge of adapting the novel in both Blackfeet and broader Indigenous social contexts, particularly through their willingness to recognize the relationships between story and place.
