Quote:
"In contrast to [Alanis] Obomsawin and [Duke] Redbird, Shelley Niro's film Honey Mocassin (1998) constitutes oppositional looking or counter-cinema to white cinematic representations of the Aboriginal Other by, for the most part, refusing to look back, by refusing to acknowledge the white colonial gaze."
-- Christopher E. Gittings
