AllDay notes that "the one time they break into song" is the only time the Native Americans do not speak in broken English throughout the film.
Contemporary reception Ĭomplex notes that in the 21st century, "you can't just ask people 'What Makes the Red Man Red? '", and comments on the Lost Boys' musical number: "Jeez, you racists little monsters, no wonder you're orphans." Althouse said the song has "obvious political correctness problems".
Writer Kim McLarin of NPR describes it as a "bouncy, drum-heavy song", while the Best of Disney calls it a "labored routine". The Indians pass the peace pipe to the children (which John smokes, but becomes nauseous after) as they tell their tale. This song is performed by "the big-nosed, guttural Chief character" accompanied by his tribesmen, who answer the questions. Wishing to learn more about them, the Lost Boys ask the Indians three questions: "What made the red man red?", "When did he first say 'Ugh'?" and "Why does he ask you 'How?'" (a corruption of the Lakota word "Hau", which translates to "Hello", etc.). Peter Pan and Wendy come across the Indians (who refer to themselves as "Injuns") once arriving in Neverland.
