Amusing Film by Kent Monkman

Last year when I visited the National Gallery I was quite intrigued with a display of Cree artist Kent Monkman's paintings. His work is deeply satirical and almost every role possible is reversed resulting in quite an interesting take on many different, but all familiar, scenes. He also makes films and I discovered this one today starring the lovely Miss Chief Eagle Testickle (I believe that Monkman plays her role), the main character in almost all his work. Intrigued?
