Cowtipping: The Militant Indian Waiter
(1992, 17 min.) US
Director: Randy Redroad (Cherokee)

A Cherokee cafe waiter faces customers who insist on sharing their ignorance about American Indians (or are they Native Americans?). His efforts to educate others usually end in frustration and a lousy tip. Based on some of Redroad's own experiences of being stereotyped, this short fiction piece blends humor, anger, and information.
