This made-for-television film was adapted from a novel of the same title written by Thomas King (the author of Green Grass, Running Water).
Below are some questions for you to consider as you watch and study the film:
- Does it seem as though this film is made for a Native or a general audience (or both)?
- How does it address stereotypes of Natives? How is it different from or similar to Harold of Orange?
- What themes does Medicine River deal with? How are they different from or similar to other films and texts we've studied this semester?
- Is there/are there trickster figures in the film? Who? What are their purposes?
- Though this film is based on a different text from the one we are studying, what connections do you identify between it and Green Grass, Running Water?
- What vision of Native American women does the film portray?
- Who or what is the hero of the film?
- Thomas King is often quoted with saying, "The truth about stories is, that's all we are." How does this film represent this idea (or not)?
