Two Indian-themed films were selected for screenings at the Sundance Festival in 2009.
"The Only Good Indian" focuses on a teenage boy forced to attend a boarding school in early 1900s Kansas. The cast includes Wes Studi, a member of the Cherokee Nation.
"Wounded Knee" is a history of the 1973 American Indian Movement takeover of Wounded Knee on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.
The festival takes place January 15-25 in Park City, Utah.
