The First Frybread Western

Manny Wheeler fights to preserve his people's language by dubbing popular movies like "Star Wars" into Navajo. In looking for their next project, he and his partners turn to westerns, a genre that has a history of misrepresenting Native peoples as primitive, vicious, and violent. "A Fistful of Dollars," the film that launched the Spaghetti Western is about to become the first Frybread Western.
