Native American representation

Native American representation pertains to how Indigenous peoples are portrayed and included in media, politics, education, and broader society. Historically, Native Americans have been underrepresented or stereotyped, which can lead to misunderstandings and marginalization. Increased, accurate representation involves featuring diverse Native voices, respecting cultural authenticity, and acknowledging their histories and contributions. This fosters greater awareness, diversity, and equity, helping to dismantle stereotypes and promote understanding of Native communities' ongoing experiences and sovereignty within broader society.
