When businesses or media productions take on Native themes, images or storylines, they turn to Native consultants to avoid stereotypes or offensive messages. It takes a broad knowledge of Native cultures and often requires standing up to executives with entrenched ideas. We’ll hear from Native consultants about what the job is like and the growing importance to have Native voices in the corporate and media world.
Guests:
Adrienne Benjamin (Anishinaabe) – reconciliation advisor, Anishinaabe artist and local community activist
Caleb Abrams (Seneca Nation) – Seneca consultant for “Dexter,” filmmaker and media artist
Grace Dillon (Anishinaabe) – Native consultant for “Antlers” and professor of Indigenous Nations studies at Portland State
