Indigenous representation has always been a particularly rocky and troubled path for comics to walk over the decades. While indigenous culture has long been included in comics, much of what was depicted in the past was horribly stereotypical or outright antagonistic. Throughout the ’50s and '60 when Western comics were in vogue, indigenous peoples were portrayed as the "savage reds," a feral and uncivilized people who existed only to attack and addle the heroic cowboys of the Wild West. When indigenous peoples were finally given their own superheroes, those characters - despite having good intentions – were still large steps backward in how indigenous culture was to be depicted. Characters such as Marvel’s Red Wolf and DC’s Apache Chief were rife with stereotypes and were generally written as one-note cultural oddities, far less engaging or deep than their other superhero contemporaries.
