This framework outlines how Native peoples should be represented in media today — with accuracy, dignity, and depth. It emphasizes showcasing the diversity of Indigenous communities, uplifting Native voices in every stage of the creative process, and centering values like respect for family, land, and future generations. Just as important, it rejects stereotypes, misrepresentation, and tokenized participation. By amplifying authentic stories and leadership, this vision aligns with Aspen CSG’s commitment to equity and ensuring communities are the authors of their own narratives.
