Aug 10, 2022 · Hulu's "Prey" has become a Hollywood flagbearer for Native American representation and authenticity. How does the Indigenous community really feel about it?

- Changing Representation?
Native Americans were among the most popular subjects of early U.S. cinema (1895-1927), and though they were sometimes depicted sympathetically (as in Buster Keaton’s The Paleface from 1922), they rarely escaped stereotyping. White filmmakers often vilified them in Westerns (one of the most popular genres of early film and later television) as sava...
The characters in Prey are mostly played by American Indigenous actors, which is less common than you might think. American movies and culture have a long history of employing redface— actors painting their faces and otherwise dressing up like Native Americans. It’s one more way that the dominant culture has disenfranchised and stereotyped indigeno...

Do some of them act nobly? Yes, there are many examples of courage and sacrifice. But these characteristics don’t definethem in stereotypical ways thro...

- The fight for visibility. Producer Jhane Myers is Blackfeet and Comanche. “I think this film, when it comes to authenticity and representation, sets the bar—and it shifts a little bit against the paradigm that Hollywood has created for Native people,” she says.
- An inglorious history. From the first European settlements in the 1600s, through casual brutality, war, disease, forced removal from ancestral lands and unsustainable changes in lifestyle, North American Indigenous people suffered a sustained cultural annihilation at the hands of white colonists.
- Protest and progress. A watershed of sorts came in 1973, on the highest profile stage in the industry. Winning the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of mob boss Vito Corleone in The Godfather (1972), Marlon Brando chose to snub the honour, sending an emissary to decline it on his behalf.
