Crey's richly insightful study explores the explosive growth of Indigenous media (film, television, video, and digital creations) in Canada. She is Indigenous herself, a member of the Cheam First Nation in British Columbia. Rather unusually, these Indigenous media industries rely heavily on government funding but work hard to preserve their independence. Crey (Simon Fraser Univ., Canada) begins each of her five chapters with a case study, which counters any tendency to rely on history and statistics alone; rather, she shows how institutions and creators actually work. She is especially good on the development of Indigenous documentary making within the hallowed National Film Board, and she has a penetrating study of APTN, the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network. Her chapter on two contentious documentaries, Navaho Talking Picture and Cry Rock, explores the ethical issues that arise when a member of a community makes a film about it. Crey's book is thoroughly documented and well illustrated with stills from films and videos. She declares that her ambition is to create a template for future media studies, and she has surely achieved that goal. The bibliography is detailed and the index is intelligently designed.Summing Up: Highly recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty; professionals.
