This thesis studies how Aboriginal and sami people are portrayed and stereotyped in movies. The question we tried to answer was “What type of patterns are there in the representation of Aboriginal and sami people in movies, and how can these representations affect people’s views of the two indigenous groups”. The method chosen for this was a qualitative analysis of 16 movies, eight about sami people and eight about Aboriginals. We then used Jens Eder’s theory of “The clock of character” to analyze the characters and see if there was any resemblance in the type of representation. The results were that both indigenous groups were stereotyped by small factors such as clothing, personality and their actions, turning a complex character into a stereotype of their indigenous roots. Looking into both of their histories, one argument that can be made is that the view’s from the colonial era are still thriving in today’s media.
