Is there any draw back in filming in National Parks though? What's lost in contrast to what's gained?
As for the decision itself, if it isn't culturally insensitive to Natives, and I can't imagine it would be, then why should it be prevented from being filmed? What? Natives can't play roles of villains? They can only be in 'hero' roles?
Alberta needs projects like this in order to help diversify the economy. Filming needs to be encouraged, not discouraged.
