- W2488763955 abstract "WORLDLITERATURETODAY.ORG 7 WE ARE ALL painfully aware of the dominant cinematic representations of Native women—the princess, the sexualized maiden, the work drudge (sq**w). Following a hundred years of cinematic tropes, films like Avatar (2009) utilize the Native woman as an exotic accoutrement to the white male hero, an access point into another culture, a way of claiming “Nativeness.” In others—The Searchers (1956), Little Big Man (1970), and Deer Woman (2005), for example—the woman’s symbolic death reinforces and validates America’s ongoing violent and colonial action against Native peoples. It’s a legacy that continues to haunt us all—but one that Native American and First Nations women have taken on full force for over one hundred years as actors, independent filmmakers, and producers. The vibrancy of their work resonates with the power and tenacity of Indigenous communities and Native women’s voices. In front of the camera, Native and First Nations women work within the Hollywood system and outside it, countering these age-old tropes with realistic portrayals of Native women and cultures. Lillian St. Cyr (Winnebago) stands in the heraldic position as the first Native American woman to star in a major film (Cecil B. DeMille’s The Squaw Man, 1914) and to work within the industry against these tropes. Her performance as Nat-U-ritch, the young mother who commits suicide when her son is taken from her, so powerfully portrayed the grief Native peoples suffered under the boarding school and adoption programs that it forced her co-stars to rethink their assumptions about Native people. Such ability to effect change in how we depict and perceive Native women is manifested throughout the industry and characterizes the more contemporary work of other actors whose work deconstructs Hollywood’s Indian woman and represents Native women as contemporary, resilient, powerful, and nuanced or complex mothers , sisters, aunties, lovers, and friends. Some of my current favorites across a variety of approaches highlight strong female subjects, a process of bearing witness through film, and the power of Indigenous storytelling in media. They include My Name Is Kahentiiosta (dir. Alanis Obomsawin , 1995), the sensitive documentary about a resilient Kahnawake woman’s participation in the Oka Crisis of 1990; Honey Moccasin (dir. Shelley Niro, 1998), the first Native American detective story that includes original artwork, performance art, and suspense; Older Than America (dir. Georgina Lightning, 2008), a powerful contemporary drama about the historical trauma of boarding schools; Fry Bread Babes (dir. Steffany Suttle, 2008), a documentary about Native women’s responses to dominant media representations of them; and Magic Wands (dir. Elizabeth Day, 2009), a bilingual (Ojibwe and English) and intergenerational short story about the “magic” of sticks used to harvest wild rice. M. Elise Marubbio is an associate professor at Augsburg College (Minneapolis). Her first book, Killing the Indian Maiden: Images of Native American Women in Film, won the Peter C. Rollins Book Award. world film Powerful and Resonant Native and First Nations Women’s Filmic Presence by M. Elise Marubbio above A still from Shelley Niro’s Honey Moccasin. Visit the WLT website to view trailers for the films listed here. Marubbio will give a keynote talk at the 2015 Native Crossroads film festival at the University of Oklahoma (March 5–7).
