The discovery of the New World was only the beginning of new things and the end of some old things. After the discovery of the New World, foreigners took advantage and the New World quickly became a modern colony, particularly North America. The animated film titled Pocahontas talks about colonization, modernization, self-identification, nationalism and also the assimilation of a culture in the name of modernization. In fact, Pocahontas was a real Native American who lived between 1596 and 1617 and married an Englishman named John Rolfe. She was the daughter of Powhatan who was the supreme leader of all the tribes of Tsenacommacah. The term tribe is used in different ways to refer to different types of social organization. In some cases, it refers to a group of local bands or villages with a common ancestry, culture and language. It also sometimes refers to groups of peoples spread over a larger area but who have cooperated politically within what is called a confederation. In still other cases, the tribe refers to a single village. Say no to plagiarism. Get a tailor-made essay on “Why Violent Video Games Should Not Be Banned”?

Also, the year is 1607 in the cartoon. They also say that they are workers for the Virginia Company, which is important to mention because it means that England is industrialized and therefore they are coming to the New World because they need more energy human resources, sources, raw materials, etc. Moreover, this is directly related. with colonization. Colonialism is a powerful force that has affected Native American cultures in many ways (Horse, 2005). However, no culture remains static. I think there is an important detail behind the scenes, which is that there is a sailor who is not British. He is Scottish. This is not hidden from anyone, especially children, who can easily understand what this scene means, but it may mean that England will also conquer the New World as they did before Scotland. Moreover, this sentence “You cannot fight with the Indians without John Smith. » shows their intention towards Indians/Native Americans. Additionally, as shown in the cartoon, the Native Americans lived in tribes and it is also mentioned in the cartoon that there are conflicts between the tribes, the natives stated that they won their fight against the Massawomeck. Additionally, the natives were shown to be more spiritual, more peaceful, more dependent and more respectful of nature in the cartoon. For example, Pocahontas talks with the tree called grandmother willow and also takes advice from this tree, the song that the natives sing at the beginning shows how much they respect the land. On the other hand, Governor Ratcliffe and his servant treat the natives as “savages”. This shows that they see the wild Indians in their eyes. On top of that, in the eyes of the Indians, they are savage. In the cartoon, there is also orientalism. Orientalism according to Friedman (1992) is the product of the practice of Western self-identification in a hegemonic space where the other is silent. In the cartoon, England represents the hegemonic, on the other hand the silent one is what the English called "savages" who are the natives. When the ship arrived at the New World, while the tribe was having an emergency meeting and one of the members A member of the tribe said that "they have hair on their faces like dogs" isalso important to mention. We know that Indian men cannot have hair on their faces, which also shows the difference between them and the visitors. The visitors are not men like them. Additionally, there is a wise old man, Kekata, in the tribe and all the tribe members believe his words. They are counting on him. Kekata, while performing a ritual, said "Strange beast bodies that shine like the sun and weapons that bewitch fire and thunder", "consuming everything in their path" about the visitors. This shows how the Indians view these visitors. They are actually invaders for them. When the English ship immediately arrived on land, they began to dig and devastate the forest without hesitation. This also shows their intention towards the land. While John Smith was trying to learn more about the land, he confronted the Pocahontas and when he spoke to her in English, she listened with her heart, as Grandma Willow said before, suddenly she understood and started speaking in English. This actually shows how closely the natives are tied to their tradition, which also points towards spiritualism. When the natives and visitors clashed, the battle took place. Furthermore, an Indian was shot and then the chief decided to fight these invaders not alone but with each of his villages in his nation. He said to Kokoum: “Send messengers to every village in our nation.” The word “nation” is an important concept to talk about. According to Friedman (1995), ethnic identity is a form of nationalism and the nation is a modern invention. Ethnic identity is not natural and innate, nor the product of ancient tradition; it is socially constructed (Friedman, 1995). Nationalism is a theory of political legitimacy, which requires that ethnic boundaries do not intersect political boundaries… It follows that a territorial political unit can only become ethnically homogeneous… if it kills, expels or assimilates all non -nationals. while, he called Pocohantas "wild". Then she got offended and :J.Smith: ''It's just a term for people who are not civilized. What I mean is...''Pocahontas: ''What you mean, it's not like you.'' Then Pocahontas starts singing a song and explains how he claims he knew and seen everything, he is the civilized one but Pocahontas says in her song that's when there are so many things he doesn't know. I think this song explains how the natives perceive these people. Also how they are different from them. Furthermore, there is no monolithic Native American entity. A person's identity as an American Indian is very personal. Pocahontas sings: You think I'm an ignorant savage and you've been to so many places I suppose that must be the case. But I still can't see if the savage is me (while she points her finger at him). gun) How can there be so much you don't know You think you own the land you land on (they're actually trying to conquer the land) The land is just a dead thing you can claim (it points out that visitors/invaders show no respect to the earth) But I know that every rock, every tree and every creature has a life, a spirit, a name... John Smith told Pocahontas that they were going to show you how to use this land correctly. Furthermore, he adds that they are going to show them how to do things right, basically how to be civilized. In fact, early Americans went through periods of deurbanization and reurbanization several times throughout their history (Forbes, 1998). In fact, what they are trying to do with00040
