Alaska Native representation in media | Alaska Insight

Season 2024 Episode 19 | 26m 56s

Hollywood has traditionally leaned into stereotypes, too often portraying Indigenous Americans using racist tropes. But things are changing and the production of HBO’s True Detective: Night Country was a marked departure from past mistakes. On this episode of Alaska Insight, Lori Townsend is joined by actors Phillip Blanchett and Mary Lou Asicksik to discuss Alaska Native representation in media.
