I do really like Chakotay as a character. It's too bad some asshole had to lie on their resume. We could have had actual native representation

Wait wait wait, Chakotay was always obvious redface. I just thought it was because that's what the suits wanted, a little hayawaya. Did they really think all that was grade A authentic indigenous?

It was as 1950's "magical medicine man" as you can get. For the love of god, he was literally space-tonto.

Chacotay: my people believe in the seven fathers of the great rivers that made the milky way.

Ok fine "for the love of the seven fathers, he was literally space tonto!"

Oo chee bang bang.
