Thank you Alonso for the Wind River movie critique. I can’t believe that, in this day and age, white-fantasy movies like this are still being made and are the only way that the movie industry allows indigenous people to be shown.
My whole life I’ve seen movie after movie tell the same 2 stories concerning natives. We are either the savage horde or the proud but helpless natives; both problems that only a white savior can solve.
The insult of this movie hit me harder as I’m from this rez and it does make me think less of Sicario.
On a side note, it’s amused me that Hollywood always casts natives from different tribes to portray a single tribe which, if you’re native, can be distracting. Tribes have unique characteristics and seeing members of different tribes portray a single one is akin to having British, Norwegian, French, Middle-Eastern, and German people all portray Spanish people.
