Racism Alive and Well

Rating: 1/10 (15 June 2008)

This movie is really messed up. The indigenous people of this country are portrayed as animals, running around totally possessed by instinct, grunting, sniffing the English? It's like a whole society of wolfboys. Though we lived in a so called "primitive culture" does not mean we lived like animals. The mannerisms of the Natives is based on a skewed colonial perspective. This stereotype has been present throughout U.S. history and especially cinematic history and apparently continues today. This film, like the mascots of major league baseball, is a symptom of a racist culture in denial. If you like this movie please try to reexamine it from a Native person's perspective.
