Content Warning: Discussions of racism, cultrual appropriation and genocide against indigenous people. As a child, I was a big fan of Disney's animated films. My sister and I eagerly expected each new release, and our parents would always take us to the theater to see them. We also owned the VHS tapes and would watch them repeatedly. One of our favorites was Pocahontas, the first Disney film to feature an Indigenous princess as the main character. I loved the movie, the toys, and the soundtrack.
