Six Degrees of Star Wars
Even before it became the property of a monstrously big corporation that started putting it everywhere, Star Wars was everywhere. Join us on a journey as we take the hyperspace lanes out of a galaxy far, far away and into other movies, finding all the ways George Lucas' flagship franchise surrounds us, binds us, and penetrates us.
Six Degrees of Star Wars
Ep. 34: The Daughter of Dawn is Illuminating
We go back to the dawn of cinema with THE DAUGHTER OF DAWN, a love story set in the First Nations of the Great Plains. In discussing it, we will take a (very limited) view of how Native people have been depicted in cinema, talk about the importance of media preservation (iykyk), and why Red Wing can do SO MUCH BETTER.
This episode was recorded and edited across the unceded ancestral lands of the Mascogo, Mass-adchu-es-et, Miccosukee, Mohican, Munsee Lenape, Naumkeag, Pawtucket, Schaghticoke, Seminole, and Wappinger Nations. You can identify whose land you are on by visiting Native-Land.ca
