Earlier today I saw that AVATAR has topped one 
billion dollars in ticket sales...  It's 
disappointing to me, as a Native (Indigenous) 
woman and professor who studies appropriation and 
misrepresentation of Native peoples in works for 
children. AVATAR is no different than some of the 
popular children's books like BROTHER EAGLE 
SISTER SKY and TOUCHING SPIRIT BEAR.

I don't have a lot to say about AVATAR, but if you're interested, its here:
