Native representation on 'The Last Of Us' - yay!!!!!!!! Showing what Natives have been doing for centuries - living and thriving!!!

I get so HAPPY when I see Native American representation in cinema, especially when it's not a stereotype. I jumped for joy at the opening scene watching Joel talking to the Native couple. Ahhhhhh, Native auntie laughter is the best, and to hear it on a somber show was pure joy!!!!

I know that a lot of us are experiencing MCU fatigue but I think we owe it to Alaqua Cox and all the Natives working on Echo to really hype up this show since they couldn't do it because of the strikes.

We're going to have a Native woman as a superhero.

They went out and found an actress perfect for Maya.

Let's make a whole lot of noise for our girl <3

I just want to say that as someone who is Native Hawaiian on my moms side and Inuk/Italian on my dads Sokka, Katara, and both of the water tribes meant so much to me as a child and even now

If there are native characters in media (ESPECIALLY INUK) usually they’re marked as token characters and not given a whole lot of depth, much less made a main character

It’s gotta be one of the largest reasons I will watch A:tLA and LoK for the rest of my life, the cultural accuracy (for the most part) and representation is unmatched in any other media

I wanted to share a free self-paced course on the complicated history of indigenous Tribes in the US and information on Tribes in the present day. This is a really great resource to learn the history and how it plays into the modern Native experience, compiled by a team of tribal members and with the help of many elders and other tribal leaders. I hope you all get a chance to check it out!

I saw Killers of the Flower Moon in the theater back in November, and now I'm watching Gangs of New York (1999) because it's St. Patrick's Day and what else does one do? (Besides drink beer and eat Irish food, which I also have covered). And comparisons are occurring.

One of the justified complaints a lot of people had about Killers of the Flower Moon was that it centered the perspective of the White villains at the expense of their Osage victims' perspectives. Similarly, Gangs of New York features an antagonist who is remarkably nuanced and human even as he sincerely holds very bigoted beliefs. That's not a problem in itself--bigots are human--but it becomes one when Bill's main object of vitriol is recently arrived Irish immigrants, and no main Irish character has arrived in America since Amsterdam was sent to Hell Gate.

One of the most memorable scenes shows Irish men stepping off the boat and being immediately conscripted, outfitted for war, and shipped off to fight for the Union in Tennessee, but here and elsewhere the Irish-Irish blend into the setting rather than standing out as characters in the main storyline. As flawed as Killers of the Flower Moon is, it does represent some improvement on Scorsese's part in representing minorities. it would have been nice to see the native actors get more screentime (and, ahem, an Oscar) but their characters are hardly confined to the background of their own story.

Forgive me for being a day late but I wanted to take the time to inform all of you that as of January 21, 2024, the Ali Nahdee Test / Aila Test is seven years old.

So much has happened since I came up with this idea back in 2017. So much has changed. So many wonderful characters and stories were introduced to me over the course of this journey. Thank you, all of you, for supporting this dream, for talking about it amongst yourself and amongst others, and for all of the Native creators who made real change in film, television, literature, animation, and any place where stories can be told and shared.

This is my greatest pride and joy. Chi Miigwech. <3

Hamilton:

Focuses too much on his romantic life, only mentions slavery in one line in a rap battle, absolves them of responsibility by saying “you could have done so much more if you had time”. Objectifies Hamilton’s affair partner as helpless common slut while making excuses for his affair. Completely forgets native people exist. Has a homophobic “fop” villain stereotype without giving him a boyfriend.

1776 musical revival:

Admits that the founding fathers could be stupid and easily distracted sometimes. Openly satirical of the government and military. HEAVILY criticizes their refusal to abolish slavery for the ENTIRE second half of the show. Entirely women and non binary people of color in the cast. Includes an indigenous land acknowledgment from an indigenous cast member before the curtain opens. Includes video presentation of leftist movements throughout American history including TODAY. Has a song about the tragedy of war without romanticizing it. Has a powerful song about the horror of slavery and the evil motivations behind it.
