Squanto: A Warrior’s Tale
This movie is the movie that showed the situation in colonist period. The British people sailed a ship along the sea to find new lands or trade with people in another part of the world. In the movie a land that they arrived had local people live their call the red Indians or the American Indians and that is America country in the present. In the past, didn’t have money yet so in trading people used exchanging for exchange the thing that each other have. The British people used silverwares to be the thing in trading for exchange furs with the red Indians. In the movie we could see the red Indians people civilization still lower than the British people, they live in small community, have their own common practice or their own believe and never go far from where they live so they don’t know that have other places in other part of the world expect where they live. This made the red Indians was took advantage by the British people easily. And in that period of time many people still though that the world is flat, not round. This movie showed the start of people leaning and communication to each other in different race, language, culture, custom, believe (lean and exchange the thing that another one don’t know or don’t have) and be the time of survey.

cool .. sound interesting :)
I liked this movie because it was typically Walt Disney and very entertaining. However, many people criticize it because it revises (changes) history. Most movies have to do this to be successful. What did you see in this movie that might not be true? Can you pick out the made up drama from the historically accurate drama in a movie?
Keep this in mind when you watch the movies in this course. See if you can determine what is real and what is added to enhance the movies watchability.
Hey congrat! finally your blog is working. Your summary is nice, short but cover the points *_^ well done.
Sadly, most of the American Indian movies stared non-Indians. Just white people painted to look like Indians. Not so, any more. In "Dances With Wolves," the main American Indian is from this area. When we watched "Dances," we were the only non-Indians in the movie house. You can spot a planted Caucasian star in an instant.
Ron Howard, who is from Duncan, Oklahoma, produced his greatest movie, named "The Missing." It stars a haggard Tommy Lee Jones. No fake Indians in this one, but the main Indian, again, comes from our area. This is a scary movie.
This is Ron Howard at his best. You know what? I think I am going to pull out the DVD and watch it again. You want to see what it was really like, living in the Midwest with horse-thundering Indians, in this movie, you've got your hands full. In fact, as I think about it, I think "The Missing" is the greatest movie I have ever seen, and I've seen most, because, hee, hee, I have satellite and "The Starz Movie" channel.
I don't think you will be happy seeing this movie once or twice. The stuff of the film is so detailed, that the viewer cannot take it in, in just one sitting.
If you don't know what rattlesnakes are, you will find out in this Movie. We had a Diamond back rattlesnake crawl into bed with a girl in Fletcher, Oklahoma. After it was over, she came very close to losing her arm. She moved back to Lawton.
I've stepped on a rattler. Funny story. We have always been involved with Church Camps, and in Kansas, we took a group down to the camp. One of the campers came in and said, "There's a rattle snake on the back porch!"
"How do you know?" with big time doubts.
"Be be because I stepped on it and heard it rattle!" Yeah right.
Flipping on the back porch light, I walked out on the porch, and sure enough, that rattle snake was a big 'ern.
I did the Boy Scout Camp director for a couple years. The kids all thought that the water snakes were water moccasins. Wrong. Not in this part of the state. We had to catch a big one, and open its mouth, before the kids would believe.
Then we went on a hike, one night camping under the stars.
"There's a rattle snake under the tree!" the little boy came up excitedly.
"Well, ... let's go see. No one is going near it, are they?"
"No, it is scary."
When we came to the treeeeeee, ahhhh, there was a HUGGE diamond back rattle snake laying in the sun. If it had bitten one of our kids, there is no way that we could have gotten that child to the emergency room in time to save his life. A rattlesnake's venom is deadly. Talk about luck. Reminds me of The Missing.
Patcharaporn,
Thanks for the question. This gives us a big hint about the tribe "Confederated Tribes of Colville Indian." What did The South call themselves? "Confederates!" The South decided to confederate for the common purpose of life-style and cotton, which, thus included slavery. I'd bet the Colville Indian tribes confederated because of a common language. I notice that they live in Washington.
I always try to find more interesting, "Just the facts, mame; just the facts." That is a quote from one of the first police weekly dramas,"Dragnet" by Joe Friday, Its main character. He would always ask the lady, "Just the facts, Mame; that's all we are wanting.
I like to explore beyond the facts and learn about the culture.
Look here and be sure and click on the underlined words. I don't have time to study about this confederation, so I am depending on you to give me a good write up. There are so many tribes, and you students have made me even more interested in them.
Like I've said before; 5 years ago, I tried to do research on the tribes over the Internet, and there was very little there.
Try this and then do a report in your own words. Hope you enjoyed meeting Nath and Eunice
