Cowboys and Indians [videorecording (DVD)] / produced by The Film Works Ltd. and High Definition Pictures in association with Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
This drama tells the story behind the 1988 shooting of Manitoba Native leader John Joseph Harper by Winnipeg Police Constable Robert Cross. This event shocked the nation. Protests from the Native community led to the establishment of the Manitoba Aboriginal Justice Inquiry, which revealed an extensive cover-up by Winnipeg police. On the day he was to testify, Inspector Ken Dowson, the officer who coordinated the cover-up, committed suicide, compounding the tragedy. Harper, whose life was dedicated to defending Native rights, has become a touchstone for relations between Natives and non-Natives in Canada.
