To be fair, the film-makers of It changed The Ritual of Chüd into native magic and Kubrick put the Overlook on an Indian burial ground. King only used it in Pet Sematary himself, and that was named the Micmac Burial Ground as it is, as you mention, about a specific tribe's burial practises
Also, the ritual of Chod is a Tibetan practice in Bon shamanism...
That pope is dope. Props for some wicked smooth animation.
Stephen King is obligated to respond....with animation.
So…King’s only prominent use of an Indian Burial Ground in a novel was Pet Sematary. There have been other ancient evils/rituals/creatures from Native American mythology used but very little and mostly one line in passing. Also King is American so would always naturally write about the place he knows aka America. It’s like saying why are there uses of Irish folklore, or Egyptian curses, or African/Caribbean Voodoo. But, a whole 1700 views. Winning!
Not to mention that King doesn't do the generic "indian burial ground" thing the author is whining about. He includes the specific peoples who were indigenous to that part of the country.
Also, he did it ONCE out of 80+ novels and he did it more than FOUR decades ago.
@@garthd7145 it’s almost like King did research…unlike the writer of the video
I think the trope was mostly born out of the idea of vengeful spirits. Kinda like how it was implied cabrini-green was built in the area where candyman was killed.
You'll find that american haunted stories revolve atleast 4 lines
murdered people
vengeful spirit/s of slave/s
native burial grounds
civil war soldiers
This is mostly due to the idea that american horror stories have focused on the idea of vengence,anger,hatred. Native burial grounds is fave mostly from people who saw mistreatment of the natives as a generally dark time in american history(modern treatment is honestly still dogshit)
Oh -- don't forget Romani curses.
Honestly this is something I had just assumed to be true because everyone else around me also did. Not that I’ve put a couple seconds of thought into this, yeah, not scary. I LOVE horror but there is an uneditable amount of native whitewashing and misrepresentation to be used as scares. Let’s think a little more about the things we consume
He does it in a couple books, but I'm not complaining, I love King. I'm Cherokee. It's never been a problem for me. I'm also pagan, and you know how pagans have also always been misunderstood in this culture
😊 ditto
Ancient Viking sites of sacrifice is common in Swedish horror come to think to it 🤔
Why does he look like Beavis in the thumbnail
King used one Indian burial ground in one of his books 40 years ago. Calm down.
I want Blark back
This feels like it's from Nickelodeon.
It’s not about Native Magic, It’s the curse of colonial genocide.
It took me 2 tries to get through this 1 minute video.. if I produced this level of quality at my job I’d be catapulted out the window with the rest of my engineering team and the company would likely be sued because the product just collapsed under the weight of a peanut in the field.
The circumstances here are poorly understood. The reason it’s almost always ancient native Americans is because THEY WERE THE ONLY ONES IN AMERICA BEFORE US.
Anglo America was founded by assorted cultists and a chunk of Cromwell's Christian Taliban, the Puritans, and distinguished itself as an ex-colony by a system of coercive captive labour that would make the Romans wince, are you seriously saying none of that pre-modern stuff is scary?? That someone has to make up Goosebumps-style nonsense and blame some brown people? Weak.
@@CrowSkeleton ancient America… not Anglo. Ancient civilizations are known for having superstitious beliefs of gods/ demons/ etc.Just adding realism to fiction. That’s all he’s doing. You wouldn’t say a South African family in the city of Durban found an ancient Eskimo burial ground.
He used it in one book...Cry about something else
Dude, Steven King’s books are super old! There wasn’t a sense of cultural appropriation or wokeness back then! Those books (adapted to movies) are classics! Leave them alone! 🤦♂️
just because they're classics and cultural appropriation wasn't as talked about as it is now doesn't mean what he wrote Isn't problematic!! Even if its old, it should be common sense to at least address it, and this is a light-hearted way to bring it into light! And we can all agree on Europe being terrifying, I live in England and its terrifying here🤣
You know what's actually super old? Native culture.
@@peachyygoblin "Problematic" is such a butchered annoying word at this point, but yea i agree. Though I wouldn't really call it cultural appropriation, more like misrepresentation/desecration lol
People miss the reality of the fact that all ancient/ earlier civilizations were heavily based on superstition and no one was here before the native Americans so they have no one else. It’s not him appropriating a culture, it’s just him bringing in realism to his fictional novels
what does woke even mean in this context
Comedy Central continues to dig their own grave.
he's also a crazy misogynist
The Amityville horror authorship joke was the really funny, but the sadly, the only funny bit.
There's way funnier Native comedians that aren't this woke/preachy. I honestly don't think Stephen King did anything wrong.
Like Land o lakes, lose the Indian, keep the land. Further, do only Indians get to write about Indians? Maybe we should stretch that to everything: which means no diversity in anything. 🧐
Dyam u pope
Weird, so we got the whole woke neosegregationist argument so an American author cant write a horror story involving anything indigenous...are Sasquatch off limits too? But hes actually like Europe has better scary stories and food, which feels vaguely white supremacist doesn't it. I doubt it.
You triggered?
probably something to do with the fact that he lives in maine and the lore of old tribal stories??
