Historically, Native American representation in media has been less that 1% and full of harmful stereotypes. In recent years, we've seen an influx of Native American and Indigenous actors and filmmakers who are increasing representation and telling their stories authentically. How might your identity, background or experience as a Native American influence your work in the film industry? If you are not Native American, how might you support ongoing efforts in the film industry to improve the representation of Native Americans and other minority groups?*
