minus-squarerockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25·19 days agoI do really like Chakotay as a character. It’s too bad some asshole had to lie on their resume. We could have had actual native representation
minus-squareshittydwarf@piefed.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·19 days agoWait, Chakotay wasn’t legit?
minus-squarerockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up29·19 days agoNope. A person assumed the false identity of a Cherokee named Jamake Highwater in the 60s, and got very famous under that name. He was exposed in the mid 80s, but it didn’t gain much traction so he was hired as a consultant in the 90s for Voyager
minus-squaretacosanonymous@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up9·19 days agoNot a lot of traction, indeed. He was outed as a fake 11 years before Voyager aired.
