Native New Yorker (film)
Encyclopedia
Native New Yorker is the title of the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival
Best Documentary Short by Steve Bilich.
Filmed with a 1924 hand-crank Cine-Kodak camera, Shaman Trail Scout 'Coyote' takes a journey which transcends time, from Inwood Park (where the island was traded for beads and booze), down a native trail (now 'Broadway'), into lower Manhattan (sacred burial ground, now including the newest natives of this island empire).
Shot before, during and after 9/11, 'Native New Yorker' took several years of filming, with a running length of 13 minutes. This is a film by Steve Bilich with an original score composed by William Susman
