Indigenous representation in media

Indigenous representation in media refers to how Indigenous peoples and their cultures are portrayed in movies, TV, and other outlets. Accurate and respectful representation can challenge stereotypes, promote understanding, and highlight diverse Indigenous voices. Historically, media has often marginalized or misrepresented Indigenous communities, leading to misconceptions. Improving representation involves including Indigenous creators, authentic storytelling, and diverse perspectives that reflect their real experiences. This fosters greater visibility, respect, and recognition of Indigenous histories, cultures, and contributions within mainstream media, supporting a more inclusive and truthful portrayal of Indigenous peoples worldwide.
