But that wasn't what happened in that scene, what happened was that he described gold by color and that it came out of the ground so she assumed it was another word for corn, then he corrected her and she simply said there was nothing like that around here. That's... That's literally the scene.

+1

no one's going to pay attention to your answer because it doesn't fit their narrative but +1 for actually paying attention to what was going on in the movie

oh huh. i literally only saw the movie once as a child so i didn't remember at all. that's really inoffensive

Agreed. Not knowing what gold is doesn't mean she doesn't understand valuing things for symbolic or ornamental reasons. She doesn't know what it is simply because it doesn't exist where she lives, not because her culture doesn't care about shiny things.

Gold deposits are not abundant in the northeastern US. Long-distance trade networks definitely existed in North America, but I know gold is not something you see in the cultures of the upper-tier Midwest (copper yes, gold no), and while I can't speak to the northeast, I suspect it's a similar situation.

Nayrt and while I technically agree, I also feel the scene is trying to suggest a narrative of "pure, peaceful, one with nature" native Americans, which is a little annoying.
