The UCLA Film & Television Archive holds a wide selection of motion picture and television titles made by and about American Indian and First Nations peoples. These moving images span from the late-1800s to contemporary television programming and provide an opportunity to survey a complex history of representations related to Indigenous peoples within the commercial mainstream media, and the diverse range of productions from Indigenous media makers.
