It's a heartwarming story of a teen girl who returns to her small hometown where the locals welcome her for a family dinner. Perfect Thanksgiving movie.

Like I said, I don't like the interpretation AT ALL but it kind of maps!
The ambiguities in the film are brilliant. So many ways to look at it.

I don't like that read because it puts all the agency on Maguire, but the film could be seen as a warning against speaking for a group you don't actually belong to--which is the gist of his very first interaction with Arthur.

Another read, which is troubling but, I think, valid, is that Arthur is a manifestation of Maguire's impotent rage. As a white man, he can't act directly on the tribe's behalf. He wants violence at first, but it becomes clear he doesn't fully understand what he's asking for.

The prayer scene really circling back to that whole captivity narrative thing, which was often just a religious allegory for white puritans about keeping the faith in the face of persecution. Except it was usually bullshit (not much has changed)

Also the way that he acts as a tabula rasa for the white people to project their "knowledge" about various tribes onto. Like he's a manifestation of their assumptions, while also being a manifestation of what the real tribe needs

I'm torn! Both sides of the argument are equally compelling to me. The way Wilf reacts to Arthur is also interesting. Amused and kind of knowing, but they don't directly interact much.

I am a bit uncomfortable with the suggestion that the real Indigenous folks won't get their hands dirty (noble savage?) so they let the spirits do it for them. Creates a problematic dichotomy

Completely agreed. It doesn't matter, because even if he's not real, it doesn't make the pain and rage any less real.

The way he's introduced does kind of give that impression. First entering the frame as a faceless enigma, focus on his pendant, accompanied by a chorus of mysterious sounds.
