Pocahontas

Horn, Kaniehtiio (host). Michelin, Ossie (director). Pollet, Élodie (producer). Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (Added Author). Host: Horn, Kaniehtiio. (Cast).

Summary: How do you dismantle the colonial myth of POCAHONTAS? Disney's portrait of the Indian Princess has been indelibly pressed into young minds: she is naïve and noble, sexualized, innocent, and in need of a white saviour to win her heart. In reality, Indigenous women have always played strong and valued roles in their communities, leading by will and courage. Western society has created the archetype of the Good Indian, frozen in time, smiling and helpful. Together, we will decolonize this stereotype and examine portrayals of Indigenous people in Hollywood and beyond.
