Residents of the Upper Peninsula (where I grew up) are called (and refer to themselves) as Yoopers. We have a local band called Da Yoopers, there are jokes about Pasties being the “Yooper Burrito,” and now we have our very own movie (sarcasm) with a title that plays upon Escanaba colloquialisms (where “the” is replaced with “da”). Escanaba in Da Moonlight is the story of a man desperate to shoot his first Buck (hunting is a big sport in Escanaba because people live off of Venison in the cold winters and because deer provide “free” food to a poor economy). It also involves a lot of drinking and shenanigans at a deer camp. I haven’t ever seen this movie, probably because I find it kind of insulting. I guess it provides the perfect example of cultural appropriation.
