Almost every week, John Little sees images of Native Americans being represented as relics of the past. There is the picture of a young Native woman on a container of butter. There are the children’s teepees sold at popular stores. And, there are the sports fans. People who support teams with Native-American-connected names often paint their faces and do the “tomahawk chop.” The movement was meant to look like a Native American using a sharp tool called a tomahawk. Little lives in the southwestern state of Arizona and is a member of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. He notes that many Americans have been discussing a lot about racist imagery in recent months, especially about the history and meaning of blackface. But such discussions have not included the outdated and often offensive representations of Native Americans. "These are everyday realities for Native people," Little said.
