Critical Interpretation

This piece explores the cultural significance of caribou to the Déné (Athapaskan) people as portrayed in Etthen Heldeli: Caribou Eaters, highlighting their deep respect, traditional practices, and efforts to preserve their way of life. It contrasts this respectful representation with a critique of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, where the depiction of a Chinese-style dragon as a destructive ghost is seen as culturally insensitive. The critique offers alternative design suggestions to avoid misrepresentation and promote cultural respect.
