Traditional
Primary
The film's narrative celebrates the pioneering spirit, individual self-reliance, and the expansion of American civilization into the wilderness, aligning its dominant themes with conservative values of tradition and individual responsibility.
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 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.
