New Documentary Highlights Tribal Disenrollment Issues
In a revealing turn of events, Ryan Flynn’s documentary, initially pulled from the 2025 Palm Springs Film Festival due to ‘scheduling errors,’ is set to premiere. Titled ‘You’re No Indian’, the film takes an in-depth look at the divisive issue of tribal disenrollment – a practice that sees Indigenous people stripped from tribal memberships. After a six-month delay, it will finally be showcased at the Dances With Films Festival on June 28, bringing to light a human rights crisis that has long plagued Native American communities.

By exposing the lack of accountability within systems that govern tribal memberships, Flynn’s documentary aims to spark conversation and action towards addressing this pressing issue.
As the debate around tribal disenrollment continues to evolve, ‘You’re No Indian’ offers an essential viewpoint on the complexities and consequences of this practice on affected communities.
