Movie and television (or should we say streaming) enthusiasts in 2022 are able to watch such Native-related programming such as Rutherford Falls and Reservation Dogs or even watch the latest Predator film Prey. Disney is also currently working on Echo, a series starring a Native American and deaf actress. On social media, you might also be familiar with such accounts as Nathan Apodaca, Notorious Cree or be familiar with Indigenous hashtags from a wide range of Native content creators on TikTok, Twitter and Instagram.
The media world was not always this friendly to proper Indigenous representation. Vincent Schilling, an Akwesasne Mohawk journalist, public speaker and editor of Native Viewpoint, will explain the volatile road Indigenous people have had to traverse over the years in the media, film and television industry and discusses how the world still has a long way to go in pop culture in terms of Indigenous representation.
This talk will be held virtually.
