Tony Hillerman – a Case of Cultural Appreciation
A classic comes back: Tony Hillerman's Navajo crime novels published by the Swiss Unionsverlag. A white author writing about people on an Indian reservation - is that still acceptable today? In response, a look at the online offerings of the most successful series: DARK WINDS has been running in the U.S. since June, and the series will be launched in German as WIND DES BÖSEN on September 12. The series is based on the novels by Tony Hillerman. Never before has a US film production had such a strong line-up of indigenous participants. Claus Biegert on Tony Hillerman.

IN THE SPIRIT OF CRAZY HORSE
I AM THE INDIAN VOICE
Leonard Peltier, Leavenworth, Kansas 1997
Director: Claus Biegert, 25 min, production: biegertfilm 2017
My second visit with Leonard Peltier in Leavenworth Prison, Kansas, was in 2000, a year after the publication of his book “Prison Writings: My Life is my Sundance.” I was accompanied by photographer Dick Bancroft, who had seen him three times in the years before. In my luggage I had a video camera and Leonard’s book.
The officer at the baggage check had no objection to the book. At least he said later that this book was not allowed, but he overlooked it. I had Leonard read his poems; they became the backbone of this film. I still collected voices from people close to him, including Nilak Butler and Ramsey Clark. Nilak lived on the Pine Ridge Reservation in 1975, near the scene of the shooting; Ramsey Clark, once U.S. attorney general, was long one of Peltier’s lawyers. The film was self-funded, with clips used by DemocracyNow! and Amnesty International.
