Stereotypes in Pocahontas

There are many stereotypes present in this movie.  The biggest probably being when the when men in the film sang the song savages when about to attack the Indians.  Looking at how this is aimed towards children as a kids film, I don't think parents want their kids growing up to think Indians are savages.  Another part that was stereotypical was how the she was always talking to plants, showing that Indians are very in tune with nature, which isn't always the case.
