Martin Scorsese's latest film has been heralded as a big moment for Native American representation on screen – but is it really progress? Indigenous commentator Kate Nelson gives her view.
Adding insult to injury, we're rarely authentically represented in media. That is, when Native characters are shown at all, which is less than 1% of the time in US TV and film, according to
us, often resulting in problematic portrayals that feed into stereotypes and paint us as relics of the past. But doing the story justice in its fullest, richest form would mean centring the Indigenous experience, which the film fails to do. I was relieved to hear Osage language consultant."I really wanted this to be from the perspective of Mollie and what her family experienced, but I think it would take an Osage to do that," he said. Herein lies the paradox: Native Americans can both be elated that our stories are finally being told yet still wish they were told from our perspective.
