This is the talkback thread for Native American Animated Films Challenge Popular Portrayal in the Media.

I'm actually taking an English class related to the studies of Native American culture, so I'm sure my teacher and classmates would find these series pretty interesting. One of the big themes in our class is how Native Americans are wrongly portrayed in most modern American media.

Unfortunately, I did some research, and the DVDs are very expensive. They only put one episode of Raven Tales on a DVD and charge $19.99. The same goes for Stories from the Seventh Fire (the 4 episode set costs $89.99). :o
 
That's too bad that they're overcharging for it. I think it would be good to expose kids to these DVDs. Most of them have probably only seen the racist depictions in Pocahontas and old Warner Bros. cartoons.
