Chakotay is more the insanity of it. First, and I know someone will take this out of context, Indians have no place in Star Trek. Star Trek is a utopia, and as communism and neoliberalism clearly demonstrate, utopias tend to involve genocide against indigenous peoples, along with other human rights abuses. But in many ways, he's more stereotypical than Tonto.

"Sky spirits". In a normal case, this would be just a one-off. In a space show, actually a spinoff following DS9, not so much. Not surprisingly, they were space aliens.The use of New Age ideas about Indians is rather jarring in a franchise whose primary conflict is passion versus reason. (Hilariously enough, we tend to see white people as irrational.)Normally I wouldn't mind the choice of Beltran. Better than someone like Taylor Lautner or Duane Loken. (When it comes to Indian ancestors, I take the view "I believe Tura [Satana]." Because she grew up at a time when being Indian was a bad thing. And because few people could make up her backstory.) So, should I be offended by Beltran or not?Animal totem. This is why I 100% support fursecution. Also, vision quests are typical of plains Indians, not Central American Indians. And they're a male puberty ceremony.Anthropologist. LOLIndians aren't vegetarians. Why? Because we accept that for us to live, other things must die, and we find the treatment of plants by vegans to be just as discriminatory as they find our treatment of animals. Also, high-carbohydrate diets are dangerous to us. Look up diabetes. Also, animal rights people are, um, very akin to the Ku Klux Klan when you're an Indian. Look up things like Neah Bay. Even calling in bomb threats to schools.Finally, my opinion of Seven of Nine and dreamcatchers? Yeah, you found the most schlocky item available and know about it. Congrats! If I were still 14, I might let you blow me.

I was thinking more of Padmé's "not a monster" speech in Episode II. Which, come to think of it, given Padmé's native Israel's stance on the "G-word" (Basically, they define genocide as only happening once in history.), might be fridge brilliance.

My bigger issue with Lucas is Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but most people don't even consider that canon.

Chakotay's greatest sin as a character is that despite being a Maquis traitor, it almost never played any role in the conflict of the crew dynamics on Voyager, but the main problem with Voyager and Enterprise is that almost nothing in any of those shows played into a conflict with anything.

"wesley isn't too bad people are just too uptight. if they want to cringe at real marysues, open up a twilight book."

How is this even possible for a human being to write?

American Indian Movement.

Plus, Wil Wheaton lobbied to make Wesley likable. Didn't work out for him, but there you go.
