Lianne Kolirin wrote in the CNN article “Classic Disney films now have stronger advisories warning of racist content,” “Disney+ subscribers who log on to watch classic films like ‘Lady and the Tramp’ or ‘Peter Pan’ now see stronger advisory messages warning of racist content… ‘Peter Pan’ which hit movie theaters in 1953, ‘portrays Native people in a stereotypical manner that reflects neither the diversity of Native peoples nor their authentic cultural traditions.’”
In the video “What is Cultural Appropriation?” on the Origin of Everything YouTube channel, Danielle Bainbridge answers the questions “What is culture?,” “How does power operate in relationship to culture?,” and “What are the boundaries between participating versus appropriating?” She traces the history of the “misrepresentation of Native American people in film.”
I also want to share the Vice article “100 Ways to Support - Not Appropriate From - Native People” by Simon Moya-Smith. Thank you for including this in your Reading and Resource List Lettie (@sincerely.lettie).
Our present is intertwined with and informed by our past. We must understand the history that shapes our headlines to make progress for the future.
