The first movie in the Indigenous Representation chapter is 1992's Thunderheart (RIP Val Kilmer). This movie finds its way into the hosts' top favorite movies about indigenous people, but how universal are its topics?
We discuss our history of viewing, whether it was a stereotypical portrayal of natives or not, whether this is a fair representation of indigenous people, what we were proud to see in this movie, conflicts in relation to real life, and whether these conflicts are accessible to a non-native audience.
