ABC-TV executives are getting pushback from more than a dozen Native American groups, after a new television series ignored the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Crisis.
According to a press release from the Global Indigenous Council, a letter was sent to the network urging ABC Studios to show some cultural sensitivity on the popular new series Big Sky.
The show is set in Montana, home to eight federally recognized tribes, which make up the largest minority population in the state. Unfortunately, Big Sky casts white women as the victims in its made-for-TV production, disregarding the epidemic of violence known as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) plaguing Indian Country.
