TV shows take on a variety of topics including politics, culture and crime. Regular Native American characters are not common in most series, but many shows do take on the topic of Native Americans for one episode. Have you ever seen the Seinfeld episode with the cigar store Indian? What about the episode of the X-files that takes place on a reservation? On this show we’ll discuss when TV shows attempt their “Native American Episode.” We’ll cover plot twists, stereotypes, and general misinformation. What is your favorite “Native American Episode?”
