![]() ![]() Trachtenberg tells Metacritic that he has always been "obsessed" with making a period science fiction film, and equally obsessed with making a movie where the story was told almost entirely through action, with a ton of emotion. So, to get to show our people during this time period as people you can feel are grounded and believable to me is kind of one of the most amazing things about this." "Comanche people were always incredible warriors and skilled hunters, and intelligent and inventive and innovative and creative. The truth is obviously neither," she explained. "It's so rare that we get representation at all, but when we do, it's either like one character who is supposed to represent everybody, or in a period piece, it's often this kind of boiled down, one-dimensional or sub-human version of, like, over-spiritualized people or savage, violent people. Midthunder was also thrilled to be able to bring that representation to a period piece, especially one that isn't about a tribe's relationship with white people. "Getting to see that every day and learn about everything from how they brush their teeth to big things like how they handled war or honor their dead was so cool." "The coolest thing for me was realizing the similarities with Comanche culture and my culture," Midthunder says. Myers and director Dan Trachtenberg worked closely together to seamlessly blend a Predator movie with a movie that as accurately as possible represents a particular group of underrepresented people. While Midthunder herself is a member of the Fort Peck Sioux tribe, the movie was co-produced by Jhane Myers, an enrolled member of the Comanche tribe in Oklahoma. I just feel like there's so many things about this movie to be excited about." "And an indigenous female action hero is a huge deal. "I think everybody worked really hard on it, first of all, but getting to represent indigenous people in a period piece in a way that I don't think you've seen often, or maybe ever, people that have real personalities and relationships," she tells Metacritic. Naru goes after it anyway, and finds herself facing off against something unlike she's ever seen or imagined before.įor Midthunder, there are "endless" reasons she's thrilled to be starring in a movie like Prey. Her male counterparts, of course, think it is a bear or a wolf or maybe a lion, so they're not exactly quick to heed Naru's warnings - she is a girl, after all. ![]() The Hulu film goes back in time 300 years to the Predator's first trip to Earth, where it encounters a young female Comanche warrior named Naru ( Amber Midthunder) who is determined to protect her tribe from the creature she knows is not a bear. ![]() It is not a prequel and has very little to do with the other movies, but the spirit-along with the alien creature with the iconic haircut - remains intact.

Voiceless vowels are shown with by underlining. The Comanche language has six vowels, which can be either long (shown by double vowel symbols) or short. May also be used as a regular question mark. The Comanche Nation in 1994 adopted the alphabet she had devised in 1994. Alice Anderton, a linguistic anthropologist from the University of Oklahoma, developed the Comanche Alphabet previously the language did not have any written script. Books and dictionaries in the language are also now available. They organize regular as well as correspondence language courses for the younger generation. There are very few native language speakers now, although an effort is being made by the Comanche Nation and the Comanche Language and Cultural Preservation Committee to renew the language. They were herded off to reservations, and their children were taken from them and taught to speak in English and forbidden to speak Comanche. The arrival of the Europeans did not bode well for the Comanches or their language. Given their common origins, there is some similarity between the Comanche and the Shoshone languages. They then moved to the Southern Plains, and they were in these parts when the Europeans arrived on the American continent. The Comanche Indians were originally part of the Shoshone Tribe of Wyoming, but separated and went their own way sometime in the early 1700s. The Comanches themselves went under the name “Numinu,” which, in their language, means “the people.” The name is pronounced “kuh-MAN-chee,” and it is derived from the word “kɨmmantsi,” a word from the Ute language meaning “enemy” the Utes and the Comanches were frequently at war with each other. The Comanche language is spoken by the Comanche Indians.
