Was lead character adopted? She was the only one that didnt look like Native Amerian
Was her mom having affair with white colonizer? They tried to hire Native Americans for this movie. And many of them did look like one. Even tho acted, talked and behaved like modern day americans. But Naru looked like a typical white american girl from CW shows. She even had her mascara all the time. Even when her face was washed from paint. I dont think Native American women did mascara.
I wonder how movie would look like with an actual Native American actress. The one who would look like one. Amder Midthunder is majority of white and asian descent. And very little of Native American. Thats why she looks out of place next to Native American actors in the movie.
