Why does Stephen King hate Red People so much? "Firestarter" features a Native American character so despicable that he could have been created by Mark Twain. In "Pet Sematary" the mere presence of indigenous people on the land in the past curses it & causes tragedy centuries later. In the short story "Chief Woodhead" real First
Nations members are depicted as murderous, out
of control gang members. The only thing which
can stop them is for a white supremacist mockery
of Aboriginal Americans - a wooden Indian
- to come to life, hunt them down & scalp them. A Native author once wrote an essay about King's attitude towards us.
Unexpectedly, he soon after received an email from the famous novelist which essentially said: "I don't give a
f*** what you people think about me!"
