This is simply because of oppression. The government likes to perpetuate the myth that Natives are going extinct. Natives are the invincible race. Many people still believe there are no Natives left or they are on their way out. Native populations are rising. The only reason they are so small in numbers in first places is because of Genocide and colonization. Why does the government want to keep Natives as invincible? If Natives are seen and heard more then they are afraid they will have to acknowledge the needs of Native people. This scares the crap out of them because there is So much injustice done to Native people at the hands of the government. If people saw Natives as real people on commercials and such they just might join our cause. You might think it is coincidence but it's not.
I'm a Native woman, when I see a Native on TV i'm calling up my Native buddies ASAP, it is such a rare occasion. Especially if they aren't being portrayed in a culturally ignorant or stereotypical way.

I know that is terrible, there are like no celebrities more than maybe a 1/8 native american, and on their native land too! its just wayyy too sad, how the native ethnic group is the least represented and smallest ethnic group nowadays. Why? Because nowadays there are few pureones, most were wiped out by... whi.. im not gonna say it.

They should feel lucky they aren't put in the medis, they don't have all that negative attention brought upon them.
