Plot-wise, there's nothing particularly groundbreaking about 'Scalped.'

The twist was always the setting: a modern-day Native American reservation.
Sixty percent of all Indians live in urban areas, but nobody's writing about them. They're really an underrepresented population, and the ironic thing is very, very few of those we call Native American writers actually grew up on reservations, and yet most of their work is about reservations.

Instead of kids just hearing about beads and baskets and fringe, and about what 'was' and 'were,' we present Native American culture as a living contemporary culture.
Some Native American writers enjoy being called Native American writers.
I was inspired by Colin Farrell in the fact that he's Irish and has freckles but with black hair. I'm a bunch of different things, Irish, Polish, Native American, and French, but I wanted to tap into that Irish side and be freckle-y with black hair, so that's what I did.
I'm Native American, so it's in my blood to always want brothers and friends. I'm a good brotherhood guy.
The native American has been generally despised by his white conquerors for his poverty and simplicity.
All of the guests on 'Faces of America' were deeply moved by what we revealed about their ancestry. We were able to trace the ancestry of Native American writer Louise Erdrich back to 438 A.D. We found that Queen Noor is descended from royalty, and that's before she married King Hussein of Jordan.
We use a Native American tradition of the talking stick. You sit and pass it around and whoever has the stick has to talk. Some people just hold it. Others really share.

The name Crow was inspired by a number of things. I thought it would be cool to have a robot with sort of a Native American feel to it.
Our country was founded on immigration. We are all occupying Native American land here. At what point do we say 'It's our land, and nobody else can come here.'
I like Celtic folk music, Native American music, and any kind of early music. There isn't a lot of music that I don't like... except for Show Tunes.
The Native American side was tragic. It's just unbelievable what has happened to them.

Quakers are known for wanting to give back.
