Devastation Rating
Native American urban violence identity
Our Take
Orange builds toward a powwow and a massacre with twelve converging voices, each carrying a different fragment of urban Native American experience. The title is Gertrude Stein on Oakland but Orange makes it an elegy for everywhere that was taken. The ending arrives like something you knew was coming and could not prevent.
