As the racist depictions seen in classic Westerns become less common, movies and shows like \u003ci\u003eReservation Dogs\u003c\/i\u003e, which was nominated in four categories for the Emmys and won the Peabody and Independent Spirit awards, are receiving national attention on unprecedented levels. Lily Gladstone's nomination for an Academy Award is a further example of how Indigenous creatives are breaking through industry barriers to boost Native American representation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNative Narratives \u003c\/i\u003etraces the evolution of often negative images and film techniques of earlier films depicting Indigenous peoples to the positive images and techniques of recent movies and shows. The book not only illustrates the “good, the bad, and the ugly” of the evolving stereotypes and images in earlier films but also points to the growing trend of Indigenous filmmakers telling their own stories in movies that counteract these older stereotypes. Michael Hilger explores these portrayals by grouping the various films and series discussed by theme and narrative, highlighting their similarities and differences and offering guidance on where Hollywood still has room for improvement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMichael Hilger \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eThe American Indian in Film\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFrom Savage to Nobleman: Images of Native Americans in Film\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eNative Americans in the Movies: Portrayals from Silent Films to the Present\u003c\/i\u003e.
