SPECULATIVE FUTURES
As show by Dowell (2018), the art of film making has an important role to play in the
overall understanding of the indigenous futurism identities that they wish to portray in the
movies. The movies Indigo, Four Faces of the Moon are few of the movies that transcend time
and show the futuristic perspectives of the society. The use of the sociological and indigenous
memories of the people are an important part of the futuristic indigenous projections. The movies
develop a mesh of plots that intricately develop to show the futuristic identities of the people of
indigenous origins. One of the important perspectives of the people in society are shown in the
movies. The movies tend to explore the ancestral memories in the minds of the people who
belong to the background of the indigenous cultures. The introduction of the new ways in which
the movies can be presented in the article shows the various perspectives and ideas of the futures
of the colonial identities. The representation of the womanhood and correlation of the cultural
identities to the global idea of womanhood affects the ideals of the people in the society. The
overall idea of the indigenous identity presented in the movies go on to show that the people in
the society are affected by the cultural identity and the options of the perceivable futures.

indigenous culture propels them to develop a third space of their identities. The way that the
music video shows the indigenous art form also focuses on development ideologies as the future
of the earth can be perceived. the dance take steps from the native American and Indigenous
dances which speculative of the cross cultural differences and mixed identities that the current
generation is facing amidst the conflict of cultures that their going through.the multiple direction
