Who would have ever thought that Avatar is related to Native American history? Native American have left footprints in many areas of the United States. That includes the media, film, and literature. Avatar is a new movie that made it big in the box office. Like most popular movies, it applies and represents many different groups and cultures. In the movie, the characters go to a foreign and undisturbed land where the natives are connected with nature. That is a characteristic associated with Native American lifestyles. When the English come to the new land, the Native Americans gave the English people a second chance and helped them adjust to their new surrounding. In Avatar the princess gave Jake Avatar a second chance and brings him to the new land. In Avatar the Native Americans were represented by big blue humanoids. Next time you are watching TV keep your eyes open for references of history. Media often reflects the real world and the past and present.
