When they pass this on the road Irene remarks "what a disguisting site that is... all the people living near that place." What message does this scene send to the audience?

From what we learned through the reading, how are Smoke Signals and Barking Water similar? Alternatively, how are they different?

This scene stood out to me as being kind of wholesome. I expected it to escalate when the man threatened to bring out his gun, but I was very shocked by the positive ending of him understanding the situation and being helpful.

It was an aspect that highlighted that there are indigenous peoples in the film cooking their traditional food

This expresses both the discontent with western practices of harnessing energy at the expense of the environment as well as how disproportionately it affects Black and Indigenous people's health who live near those plants

This scene just felt spiritually filling. The brief speaking moment he gave gave a feeling of bitter acceptance of fate as well. It felt like the message regards fate & how we come to terms with challenges

The first song stood out to me quite a lot. I actually shazam-ed it because I loved it so much. "I still love you" and "I'd rather die" are the lyrics I remember the most. As Frankie is wheeled out of the hospital and Irene speeds away with the staff watching in awe, the music had these joys vocalizations. I think this song was the perfect opener.

I really liked this scene because of the way that it subverted my expectations.  After the man threatened them and told them to get off "his land," I initially thought that the scene was going to escalate further and fit more with the idea of being subject to unjust violence.  I was surprised and happy that this didn't happen because it's a narrative that has already been done and it was very touching to see the man show some generosity.

This scene was very impactful to me because I wasn't surprised the man was defensive about his land with the two main characters. I was more surprised when he was welcoming and offered to share his weed. I think this scene sort of pushes back against typical portrayals where Native Americans are seem as trespassers and often pushed off of land. I think this scene had a symbolic nature in that sense, but I'm not sure to what extent.

It was a statement about the environmental racism encountered by indigenous communities. she was hoping that even though Frankie was dying, he would see the influence of environmental racism on him along with other people and future generations. Throughout the movie she was also wearing a shirt about indigenous environmentalism. This seems to indicate the direct link between politics and personal life.

The part where the white man comes up to Irene and Frankie and says "get off my land" was particularly ironic to me. I also found it interesting how the white man was so quick to say that he had his gun. I just found this scene to be somewhat funny, it felt like a subversion of the typical narrative and like it played into white male stereotypes (e.g. love for guns, weed, etc.)

I think they added a good piece of humor to the movie but they also played a good role at sort of reminding us that we still did not know why Frankie and Irene separated

This fry bread was a great take on a typical food being made & illustrates the importance of what cultivates culture like cooking

I feel like the theme of forgiveness ran through this film. On both sides, Irene and Frankie had a lot of things to forgive each other for during their journey

One of their friends/relatives had said, "When he sees the horses, he'll know." This was interesting to me because of the phrasing-- it wasn't "he'll pass away"/"his soul will move on"/something along those lines, but rather, "he'll know." This isn't totally related to the horses themselves but I think the wording of that sentence was as if he were portraying death as something we are deeply connected to, or perhaps something that is a continuation of life rather than an end. -BT

I feel like this was a really good comedic element to add. It was interesting to see how they retained some practices despite being kind of clowny

The fight they had about the music was a mundane fight that a lot of people have. The meaning was deeper tho bc he didn't have long left

For the people who benefit from that environmental demise, they think its amazing. For Irene well this is just straight up pollution

The couple in the car and Frankie and Irene bonded over music - She gave them her mixed tape as a thank you

I think this scene in particular complicated conventional narratives of the settler colonial state and the victimization of indigenous people being kicked off their own land in that the white men ended up sharing and opening up his home and space for these people

This scene beginning with the white man telling them to get off of "his land" and threatening them that he had a gun, and ending with them sharing a calm moment together smoking was interesting and not what we usually see. His transition from defensiveness to compassion once he realized Frankie was sick gave it that wholesome feeling so many people noted
