SEARCHING FOR WINNETOU

Ojibway Drew Hayden Taylor explores the German obsession with Indigenous North Americans

Searching for Winnetou is the story of Ojibway author and humourist Drew Hayden Taylor’s quest to understand the roots of the German Obsession with Native North Americans.

Inspired by 19th century author Karl May and his series of Winnetou novels, thousands of Germans attempt to live and dress as First Nations people.

The documentary explores the controversy surrounding cultural appropriation of Indigenous culture in an innovative, hilarious, unnerving, yet inspiring way.
