INDIGENOUS peoples in motion pictures; MAORI (New Zealand people) in motion pictures; INDIGENOUS peoples of the Americas in motion pictures; WHALE Rider (Film); FOUR Sheets to the Wind (Film)

The article discusses the depiction of indigenous people in motion pictures. The author notes the representation of Māori culture in the motion pictures "Whale Rider" and "Taking the Waewae Express" and of American Indian culture in the motion picture "Four Sheets to the Wind." He suggests that the greater representation of Maoris in motion pictures as compared to American Indians is due to differing levels of indigenous culture adoption in New Zealand and the U.S.
