A person expresses negative views of indigenous people; in one scene a woman uses the term 'Squaw'. There is sight of blood on bandaged wounds and on a person's hands; a bullet wound is treated by a doctor, and there are references to death and bereavement. Scenes feature dead fish; in one sequence there are close-up shots of a dead fish whilst it is cut into pieces but this is presented within the context of an indigenous ritual.
