Erdrich created a visual landscape of associations and references that match the tremendous irony of how the word “occupy” can be meant. The film version of this poem is a collaborative collage that means to reveal the distracted human mind at a particular point in history.  Released in early 2013, the film inadvertently anticipated the Idle No More Movement.</span> ER -
