This made me cry all over again.
This is what I want do: Be part of the changing narrative around Indigenous people and their depiction in film and television production.
I hope I can not just use my voice to do it but raise other voices as well.

Not being Indigenous or from a PoC community, it may not be easy to see a problem with this casting, but within our communities this is a big issue.
No offense to Sydney, but Nani is Indigenous Hawaiian with strong features and dark skin, this casting is blatant colorism.
Sydney Agudong has been cast as Nani in Disney’s live-action adaptation of ‘LILO & STITCH.’

While we’re all going after the Catholics, which rightfully so, let’s not forget the Mormons role in stealing Indigenous children and their own version of residential schools.
It was called the Indian Student Placement Program which put Native kids with white Mormon families.

This program destroyed lives. It was nothing but a sick colonizing fantasy by delusional religious leaders who wanted to fulfill their sick idea of a prophecy.
The LDS church has a long and bloody history with Indigenous peoples and we should never forget that.

The church said it was about giving Indigenous children access to education, but it was really about one thing, getting kids accustomed to the high moral and religious values of the church.
This would inevitably lead to a clash of cultures which would force these kids to choose:

In the Book of Mormon, the Lamanites were cursed with dark skin and by embracing the doctrine of the LDS faith the Lamanites would become “white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome.”
This is the ideology that drove this program.

There was abuse in this system. How could that not happen?
Four Navajos sued the LDS church for the sexual abuse they faced during their time in this program.
While they reached a settlement with this four, the church has stated it will never apologize for this program.

One of the main goals of this program was to “bring the Lamanites to their former glory.”
For those who don’t know, Lamanites are Indigenous people in LDS mythology and were the chosen people, but have fallen from grace.
Conversion to the “true gospel” was the plan.

The problem was thousands of kids would be sent with these families with very little oversight. The church hired case workers but they were spread thin and kids would maybe see one every few months.
The foster families would clash with the children over culture issues.

Of saving them from their own sinful ways, which was their traditional lives. The program weaponized LDS identity against their Indigenous identity simply by stating it was a “higher calling.”
Like other residential schools, there were rules in place to prevent practice of

“Remember, the people with whom you associate at home, at church, at school or wherever you will be may judge all Indian people according to what you do and say,”

A guide was given to these children and advised such as not speak their traditional languages “when there is someone present who does not understand.”
It also advised the students not to participate in cultural practices when they returned home in the summer.

“For years they have been growing delightsome, and they are now becoming white and delightsome, as they were promised.”
This idea created major dissonance within these Indigenous children as they would not feel at place back at their homes.
They were torn between two worlds.

The thing was, this program was viewed as a success.
Apostle Spencer W. Kimball said in a church talk about the progress and how the children’s skin was “as light as Anglos.” Children living in foster homes were “several shades lighter” than their dark fathers and mothers.
