Yup'ik Native Americans like everyone else in their village. I have the feeling that they were originally meant to be Native in the novel, but perhaps some changes were made for the film version. Has anyone read the novel? Were they Scandinavian whites in the novel? If so, did the novel explain why the two of them had lived their whole lives in an isolated Yup'ik village?
shareb/c woke. whites have to be portrayed as whackos. blacks and indians are the heroes.
shareOf course, that is probably the answer. The movie hits all the Wokeness marks. The protagonist is black. The killer couple is white. This is a 2018 film.
Cheeon, Mr. Slone's best friend and accomplice is a Yup'ik man who kills the most of anyone in the movie when he stages a machine-gun massacre to draw attention away from Slone. However, all of his victims are cops, which Liberals would probably consider as justifiable and heroic to kill.
They are blonde and white in the novel. In fact the movie was fairly accurate in that portrayal
shareIs there ay explanation about why they grew up in an isolated Native community? That made no sense at all to me. I have been to a number of Native communities located in more centralized places, and the only blonde white people I ever saw there were casino guests.
shareJust their father left the Nordic countries and came to the remotes of Alaska long ago. Maybe fleeing a legal issue.
shareAgree.
But there was that one character who went apeshit and he appeared to be from the community.
