Traditional
Primary
The film's central narrative celebrates American frontierism, individualism, and the establishment of new settlements through the heroic actions of Daniel Boone, aligning with traditional conservative values of self-reliance and expansion.
The movie features traditional casting, primarily depicting white characters in central roles consistent with its historical setting and production era. The narrative frames traditional identities in a neutral to positive light, focusing on adventure without critiquing these identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The series generally portrays Christianity as a positive moral compass for Daniel Boone and the pioneering settlers. Christian values such as honesty, courage, community, and family are often upheld as virtues, providing a foundation for the protagonists' actions and decisions in the wilderness.
The historical adventure series 'Daniel Boone' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Produced in the 1960s, the show's narrative focus on frontier life and its production era precluded the inclusion of such portrayals.

However, there are no documented instances where a female character engages in and wins direct physical combat, such as hand-to-hand or melee weapon fights, against one or more male opponents.
The 1964 "Daniel Boone" series portrays its main historical characters, Daniel Boone and his family, with their historically established genders. Original characters created for the show do not have a prior canonical gender to swap from.
