“Tresspassing on Sacred Ground”
As part of TCM‘s Race & Hollyood: Native American Images on Film” festival, Movie Morlocks has posted part 1 of an essay on Native Americans in horror movies from The Werewolf a 1913 Canadian silent to J.T. Petty’s The Burrowers and Twilight: New Moon: “The inclusion of Native Americans into
actual horror movies boils down to a scattering of reliable formulas: Whites Trespassing on Sacred Grounds, Vengeful Redskins, Ecology and Racism.” (via GCDB)
