I am really glad to see more indigenous representation in Hollywood. Apart from the recent Scorsese film (I haven’t seen it yet), there was also Reservation Dogs and Prey, both of which were terrific. I hope that trend continues. I am sure a lot of indigenous people find Voyager a hard watch because of Chakotay and the terrible ‘noble mystical savage’ background they gave him derived from that white guy who pretended to be indigenous.
