I am turning the content to express the marginalization and misogyny of Native/Indigenous women. This short questions women-on-women misogyny.
The fashion/cosmetic industry is a multi-billion dollar per year global industry. This economic privilege comes at a price for women profiled as underrepresented. The tokenization of Native/Indigenous women has worked its way into pop culture as an assumed social norm.
The male-centered rhetoric of the silent Native woman is more than a simple fantasy of a master race. This stereotype is an outlier of submission. Pushback against this profitable profile weighs light - anorexic! - when played out in the area of social discourse. Memes and racist images of the dominated, silent, and submissive Native/Indigenous women remain a poster of oppression.
Even outside the issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (and Girls) - MMIW/G - this fractured short teases the eyes, challenges institutionalized racism and inverts the absent voice of Native/Indigenous women.
