OMG!! it IS smoke signals. i lived in the small town of Plummer, ID.. that is where it was filmed. Ohh goodness.. this is amazingly random. I didn't think anyone outside of Plummer and Worley liked or had even SEEN this movie. haha

A lot of fans of the singer Dar Williams have seen the movie and like it; a song of her is featured in the movie ("Road Buddy").

well others before me have already said the name and they are sure it's the right one so i guess it is..smoke signals..but it has been six months and you have only one so i guess it was a waste of time answering anyhow because you didn't care to come back or to give the one who was right the best response i don't know...

I want to say Smoke Signals. It won a bunch of awards back in the late 90's and sounds right.

Just to clear something up for some of ya'll. When those of us from the states says American "Indian" , they are referring to the original inhabitants of the United states and their descendants as in those who lived here before Caucasians arrived. Not people from the country of India. I've never seen that movie "Smoke signals", but have read a bit on it. It does seem to fit with the description given here.

I'm aware that Indian is not the correct name for them, but its one that came about by mistake and the name stuck for so long that people have gotten used to it. You know how they say "Old habits die hard" Even a lot of NA except being called this.

I think most probably it must be one of the best movies since you have enjoyed it. I have not seen much English movies. I like watching malayalam movies more.
