What is

Native American representation in film and TV used to be confined to Westerns and storylines of defeat. Today, a new wave of Native American comedies, written and created by Native peoples, are taking back their narratives. Shows like Reservation Dogs and Rutherford Falls challenge stereotypes and address big political movements like #LandBack.
Join our special guests, Rutherford Falls writer, Taietsarón:sere ‘Tai’ Leclaire, and associate professor and author of “Picturing Indians: Native Americans in Film, 1941-1960s”, Liza Black, to trace the history of Native American representation and tell us how Hollywood has progressed from grotesque stereotypes to nuanced characters.

    Most Latin American Natives find Emperors New Groove and Road To El Dorado as great films that represent our history with a fictional-comedic lens. Those two are my favorites animated film and let's mention "Spirit and the Cimarron Stalion" a film that I consider better than any Native Representation in animation; too bad Dreamworks made dumb sequels to that film.

    When I was growing up, we did learn about the uglier side of the history between indigenous Americans and European colonizers, I think we should have learned about more of it tho, and it stopped with the Trail of Tears. I remember feeling angry learning about how we made deals and treaties with the tribes that WE then violated or manipulated over and over. I honestly never really thought about Native Americans as like a current, living people because they kind of got taught to me like they were a part of history, not our present or our future. I wish we had learned about the Alcatraz takeover and land back movement.

There's so much controversy in this topic... I don't think they're looking for justice, they're looking for power. They've lost their heritage and are just thinking like a greedy bank pig... looking for victims.

    You do understand that you are standing on their land right now, right? The whole of Turtle Island was their Land. Everything from the Arctic glaciers to the canal in Panama. So where do all the Americans go that are not Native? People that were born here, but that are not Native enough to 'belong'? We are talking millions of people. And which Treaties are the ones that are the one that should be enforced? There were Wars fought and warriors died on all sides, and when you lose a war, you lose territory. If Natives are actually dual-citizens between their sovereign lands and America, then those places need their own representation in the Senate and House in both State and Federal. And they need representation in something like the U.N. because when they disagree between themselves and the Federal, the bias is definitely for the majority and not the tribes.

Growing up and realizing the history of native Americans, what they've been through and how they fought hard for their land and respect made me change my views on westerns ( and of course my view on john wayne has completely change also).

    Caribeños have a complicated history with native identity too, as we’re more ethnically mixed than in the states and Canada, and out cultures have a lot more influence from west African cultures and ancestry. To varying degrees depending on the island. The Spanish speaking islands have the “three races” identity and are generally lighter than many from say, Haiti or Jamaica or Trinidad. The whole idea of race functions differently than in the US too. And we all have a loose relation with each other and common cultural practices as caribeños, regardless of language, because of the shared region and distant native ancestry I’ve noticed there’s been a resurgence in native identity and culture in the Caribbean, but it’s a very different conversation than what’s happening in the states due to the above factors.

I wanted to help California natives that when florida natives were getting their landback, I used my cash to go over there to see if i could get tips. By the time i got there, Arnold schwarzenegger put laws to prevent California natives to buy landback. Reservation Dogs is a good show. I think natives need to be front and center. In case you guys haven't figure it out about me that I'm for land acknowledge being doing before the national anthem.

    This resonates with me. Growing up, I always wondered why the few shows or movies I saw with Native characters always had them stereotyped. I knew something was wrong. Two representations in media that were the first instances of seeing a glimpse of Native spirit for me were the anti-littering PSA with the Indian who has a tear coming down his cheek when he sees what we have done to the sacred land and the movie Little Big Man with Dustin Hoffman. Although it turned out that the actor in the commercial was not native, he was still respected for this piece. The movie on the other hand, using Hoffman's character as a foil, I thought showed the beauty and value of the Sioux culture, giving us the perspective from their experience, not settlers or calvary. It also showed what the people lost when their families and way of life were destroyed. I still cry. In the city where I live, I haven't seen the "land back" tag, but that is something I can get behind. I know here in California some land in the NW redwoods area has been given back. I can't remember the details right now, but I was thinking, it's a start. This is an awesome YT show, relevant, well produced, great people! Thank you, PBS💜✌️😎

    Dark winds was a great show to watch and the movie prey was the most badass film I've watched all year. I hear the writers are trying to do when they don't put in subtitles but I'd still like the option going forward. Prey specifically could have had subtitles if the whole film was in Comanche like it was originally intended.

    In this video they talk about " Landbakk " . The US Supreme court ruled that " All Treaties between The US and Tribal Nations are valid " . What this means is , most of the land within The 48 States is being held "In Trust" until all the Treaties are honored , also No Amendments to any Treaties are valid until the original Treaty is honored and both parties agree. Many people will contest this because they feel threatened by the reality of the situation .

    I grew up on Rosebud Reservation from age 2 through age 12. I'm sorry this happened. I spent my first 2 years of school at the Indian school in Mission, then was moved to a white farm school south of there. I didn't interact much with natives outside of church and sports, mainly because I was (and still am) painfully shy. We moved to Custer because my father couldn't keep the farm going. My worst personal mistake was accepting the role of Sitting Bull in my high school presentation of Annie Get Your Gun, for which I apologize. I've been trying to learn how to be better, but I have so much more to learn.

    As part Paiute, part Filipino and Hawaiian. I have a legitimate question for other natives to answer. If We had our lands back, where would all the other enthnic groups that have 2nd 3rd and even 4th generations living our land go? Do we allow them our lands or kick them all out? 40% of our lands has other ehtnic groups living on them, what happens to them? Like California there's more minorities living there than any other state, do we kick them all out? Where do we stand on other enthnic groups on our lands? #landback

    Re: no subtitles--Shows get really boring and unrealistic without non-English speakers not speaking English. No one sees subtitles in real life and people that don't speak English are an integral part of America itself. I hope more Americans watch and absorb life in these dramas to see partly how it should be and is. [People that are not verbal need representation too.] These shows sound awesome.

    I was watching that episode of Res. Dogs when it came out and I didn't like that they just cut off the cc altogether. People with hearing difficulties couldn't understand ANY of the joke at all. They did not put the Mohawk speech peppered with the english words on the cc, so you just did not get anything. And this writer guy is like, "Yeah, this is because it is a joke just for the folks that speak Mohawk." But those that could hear the english words that were being said and see the expressions on the Mayor's face kind of got the joke, too. But the hearing impaired just get shafted.

    That's a great question, I myself am native and it's mostly natives that call themselves "Indian" due to hearing it their whole lives. There's this activist, John Trudell, and he said "Historically speaking, we went from being Indians to pagans to savages to hostiles to militants to activists to Native Americans. Its five hundred years later and they still cant see us. We are still invisible." And this is basically how we have been "rebranded" by many over hundreds of years. We call ourselves "Indian" because we were called it, and we call ourselves it because, to me at least, it feels like "taking back" a taunt used against us. We are the only race in America where we put "American" in front of race. So "American Indian" is different than "Indian American"

    The question that you are not supposed to ask native American community. "Why do many representatives of Native American communities not look like Native Americans?" The irony of this story is that in the early days of Hollywood films, most of Native American roles did not look like Native Americans as they were done by White actors. But now as you see in this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/lo5llbaTm5jLeJc.html at least to my eyes, two guys in this look more White than Native American. Assuming that they are so called mixed race, they look like they have more White DNA than Native American DNA. I guess it is Okay for people with less than half native blood to choose to identify themselves a Native American, but seeing not Native looking people leading Native American communities is a bit confusing for non Native American like me. And not only these two guys but also I have seen some other Native American communities were lead by not very Native looking people in some news media reports before. Definitely not having seen all the leaders of Native American communities, I may be very wrong about this. If so, please correct me with reasonable evidences.
