Abstract

Throughout, Tahmahkera weaves in moments and wisdom captured in tribal film and video in moving-image oral histories and interviews with knowledge keepers and Comanche elders. I Mar i u I awe i establishes a storytelling practice of call and response that Tahmahkera brilliantly adapts to the project of answering, talking back to, and counter-narrating media representations of indigeneity in general and of Comanches in particular. Elsewhere, Tahmahkera incisively analyzes the casting and performance of Johnny Depp as Tonto and the creation of a more fully-rounded Comanche backstory for that character in Gore Verbinski's 2013 I The Lone Ranger i .
