  • Historical Inaccuracies and a False Sense of Feminism in Disney’S Pocahontas
    Cyrus 1 Lydia A. Cyrus Dr. Squire ENG 440 Film Analysis Revision Fabricated History and False Feminism: Historical Inaccuracies and a False Sense of Feminism in Disney’s Pocahontas In 1995, following the hugely financial success of The Lion King, which earned Disney close to one billion is revenue, Walt Disney Studios was slated to release a slightly more experimental story (The Lion King). Previously, many of the feature- length films had been based on fairy tales and other fictional stories and characters. However, over a Thanksgiving dinner in 1990 director Mike Gabriel began thinking about the story of Pocahontas (Rebello 15). As the legend goes, Pocahontas was the daughter of a highly respected chief and saved the life of an English settler, John Smith, when her father sought out to kill him. Gabriel began setting to work to create the stage for Disney’s first film featuring historical events and names and hoped to create a strong female lead in Pocahontas. The film would be the thirty-third feature length film from the studio and the first to feature a woman of color in the lead. The project had a lot of pressure to be a financial success after the booming success of The Lion King but also had the added pressure from director Gabriel to get the story right (Rebello 15). The film centers on Pocahontas, the daughter of the powerful Indian chief, Powhatan. When settlers from the Virginia Company arrive their leader John Smith sees it as an adventure and soon he finds himself in the wild and comes across Pocahontas.

    PSYCHOLOGICAL CONQUEST: PILGRIMS, INDIANS AND THE PLAGUE OF 1616-1618 A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAW AI'I IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN mSTORY MAY 2008 By Alyson J. Fink Thesis Committee: Richard C. Rath, Chairperson Marcus Daniel Margot A. Henriksen Richard L. Rapson We certify that we have read this thesis and that, in our opinion, it is satisfactory in scope and quality as a thesis for the degree of Master of Arts in History. THESIS COMMITIEE ~J;~e K~ • ii ABSTRACT In New England effects of the plague of 1616 to 1618 were felt by the Wampanoags, Massachusetts and Nausets on Cape Cod. On the other hand, the Narragansetts were not affiicted by the same plague. Thus they are a strong exemplar of how an Indian nation, not affected by disease and the psychological implications of it, reacted to settlement. This example, when contrasted with that of the Wampanoags and Massachusetts proves that one nation with no experience of death caused by disease reacted aggressively towards other nations and the Pilgrims, while nations fearful after the epidemic reacted amicably towards the Pilgrims. Therefore showing that the plague produced short-term rates of population decline which then caused significant psychological effects to develop and shape human interaction. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ............................................................................................... .iii List of Tables ...........................................................................................v

  • An American Accented Cinema
    AN AMERICAN ACCENTED CINEMA INDIGENOUS-CENTERED ROAD MOVIES An Honors Thesis by Elizabeth Falkenberg An American Accented Cinema: Indigenous-Centered Road Movies By Elizabeth Falkenberg Brown University MCM Track I Honors Thesis Spring 2019 Primary Advisor: Joan Copjec Second Reader: Levi Thompson ABSTRACT Motivated by a desire to assess both the positive and negative cultural legacies of classical Hollywood cinema, this thesis focuses on a genre descendant of the classic western: the road movie. More specifically, inspired and contextualized by Hamid Naficy’s theory of ‘accented cinema,’ it will explore a subgenre of the road movie that features indigenous characters and narratives. Three indigenous-centered road movies – Powwow Highway, Smoke Signals, and Barking Water – help me define a specific type of accented cinema which has emerged in United States. Positioned as cultural and social texts, these films can be considered “accented” by the ways in which they employ accepted modes of production and address the themes of nostalgia, border consciousness, and journeys. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ............................................................................................................................... i Introduction: A New Accented Cinema ..............................................................................1 1.

In the popular myth a group of idealistic religious reformers fled persecution into the wilds of the New World, braving seas, storms, winter, hunger, and death at the hands of teeming hordes of Indians, carving a new life out of an unspoiled wilderness, building a civilization with naked force of will and an unshakable religious vision. As with most historical myths, this account has been idealized to the point that it obscures the facts of the Pilgrims’ voyage.

  • 1 Pocahontas No More: Indigenous Women Standing up for Each Other
    1 Pocahontas No More: Indigenous Women Standing Up for Each Other in Twenty-First Century Cinema Sophie Mayer, Independent Scholar Abstract: Sydney Freeland’s fiction feature Drunktown’s Finest (2014) represents the return of Indigenous women’s feature filmmaking after a hiatus caused by neoconservative politics post-9/11. In the two decades since Disney’s Pocahontas (1995), filmmakers such as Valerie Red-Horse have challenged erasure and appropriation, but without coherent distribution or scholarship. Indigenous film festivals and settler state funding have led to a reestablishment, creating a cohort that includes Drunktown’s Finest. Repudiating both the figure of Pocahontas, as analysed by Elise M. Marubbio, and the erasure of Indigenous women in the new Western genre described by Susan Faludi, Drunktown’s Finest relates to both the work of white ally filmmakers of the early 2000s, such as Niki Caro, and to the work of contemporary Indigenous filmmakers working in both features (Marie-Hélène Cousineau and Madeline Ivalu of Arnait) and shorts (Danis Goulet, Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers). Foregrounding female agency, the film is framed by a traditional puberty ceremony that—through the presence of Felixia, a transgender/nádleeh woman—is configured as non-essentialist. The ceremony alters the temporality of the film, and inscribes a powerful new figure for Indigenous futures in the form of a young woman, in line with contemporary Indigenous online activism, and with the historical figure of Pocahontas. A young, brown-skinned, dark-haired woman is framed against a landscape—the land to which she belongs. Her traditional, cream-coloured clothes and jewellery move with the movement of her body against the wind; brilliant washes of colour change with the changing light.

  • Hidden Treasure-Historical Truth Squanto by Katherine Bone One Hundred and Two English Colonists First Landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620
    Hidden Treasure-Historical Truth Squanto By Katherine Bone One hundred and two English colonists first landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. Newly separated from the Church of England, these brave men and women, known today as ‘puritans’, had previously fled to Holland where they lived in the Dutch settlement of Leiden before sailing to the new world. Financed independently of the Plymouth Company, they could not know their lives would drastically change when they reached what is now Providence Harbor and formed an acquaintance with an Indian who surprisingly spoke English. Through the Plymouth Company, which dispatched Captains George Weymouth, Sir Ferdinando Gorges and John Smith on explorations off the coasts of Penobscot, Maine and Massachusetts, a man named Tisquantum, also known as Squanto, had been groomed for such a feat. His fascinating life journey had placed him in the Pilgrim’s path precisely when they needed him most. Known as Tisquantum, Squantum, and Squanto, Squanto hailed from the Wampanoag community of Patuxet, a village which held two thousand tribal members and stood exactly where the pilgrims would later erect their homes. During his adolescence, explorers began to make contact with his tribe and being considered a sachem or potential sachem, spiritual leader, he was probably one of the first to meet them. French colonizer Samuel de Champlain was one of the first adventurers to trade with the Patuxet in 1605 and 1606. And in turn, the Patuxet were awestruck by European muskets, brass kettles, sharp knives and ax heads, piercing needles and fishhooks, and were encouraged to barter surpluses of maze and fur in exchange.

  • Cameron Hurley Thesis NEW FINAL
    PRINCESS POWER Uncovering the Relationship Between Disney’s Protagonists, their Mothers, and their Fictive Kin Cameron Hurley A thesis submitted to the department of Cultural Anthropology for honors Duke University | Durham, North Carolina | 2018 Hurley 1 Abstract This paper analyzes the kinship relationships displayed in Disney princess films produced between 1937-2010. By exploring the various parental figures in the films, or the fictive kin who supplement their absence, the paper highlights the ways in which anachronistic thematic plots continue to affect modern children. The paper is divided into four chapters: I) Just Around the Riverbend, which discusses the familial sacrifices made in Pocahontas and Mulan; II) Motherless, which examines the consistent lack of biological maternal figures in the majority of the films, along with the witches who supplant them; III) Fairies, Forest Creatures, Father Figures, and Fictive Kin, which explores the single-fathers in the films and the anthropomorphic fictive kin that guide the protagonists in Cinderella and The Little Mermaid; and IV) Married Ever After, a chapter detailing Disney’s marketing tactics, consumerism, and the evolution of a woman’s relationship with the Walt Disney Company. Acknowledgments I would like to thank Dr. Lee D. Baker, Dr. Edna Andrews, and Dr. Heather Settle for their continued support throughout this senior thesis distinction project process. In addition, I would like to thank the Duke University Cultural Anthropology department as a whole for fostering my education over the last four years. Finally, I would like to thank my parents, my Yaya, and Jason Kaplan for their guidance through this journey.

  • Squanto and Samoset American Heros
    SQUANTO AND SAMOSET AMERICAN HEROS The following is transcribed from the book “THE LIGHT AND THE GLORY” by Peter Marshall and David Manuel. This part started around the sixth, seventh or eighth page of Chapter Six. The Indians who lived near Plymouth are truly hero’s of America. Squanto, the lone survivor of his tribe was instrumental in the survival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth. Read below this brief history of the life of Squanto. Indian coming? Surely he meant Indians coming! Disgusted, Captain Standish shook his head, even as he went to look out the window–––to see a tall, well-built Indian, wearing nothing but a leather loincloth striding up their main street. He was headed straight for the common house, and the men inside hurried to the door, before he walked right in on them. He stopped and stood motionless looking at them, as though sculpted in marble. Only the March wind broke the silence. “Welcome!” he suddenly boomed, in a deep, resonant voice. The Pilgrims were too startled to speak. At length, they replied with as much gravity as they could muster: “Welcome.” Their visitor fixed them with a piercing stare. “Have you got any beer?” he asked them in flawless English. If they were surprised before, they were astounded now. “Beer?” one of them managed. The Indian nodded. The Pilgrims looked at one another, then turned back to him. “Our beer is gone. Would you like . some brandy?” Again the Indian nodded. They brought him some brandy, and a biscuit with butter and cheese, and then some pudding and a piece of roast duck.
