(4/5) #Filmmakers and #production teams: non-inclusion might seem safe, but it does representational damage - especially when Indigenous folx are left out of a production that claims to be #SociallyInclusive. Tips for next time:

2. Take the time to build relationships that foster meaningful dialogue with #communities you’ll be representing.
3. Research, research, research and #learn from your mistakes (and the mistakes of others).

Whites created a myth that Native Americans are “remnants of a vanishing race” with a statistically insignificant population to justify the US land theft. We’ve always been here and always will. When I say the biggest problem facing Natives in the US is invisibility, this is why
