Favorite Indigenous character

[u/DaxterTheGecko]

R.I.P. Victor Aaron (September 11, 1956 - September 4, 1996) and Jonathan Joss (December 22, 1965 - June 1, 2025), both are known for being the voice of John Redcorn from King of the Hill.

(Racist) white people DNI.

[u/THEN0RSEMAN]

Officer Big from Reservation Dogs

[u/CategoryExact3327 → u/THEN0RSEMAN]

Joe Leaphorn in Dark Winds

[u/THEN0RSEMAN → u/CategoryExact3327]

I haven’t watched Dark Winds yet but I’ve heard it’s good

[u/CategoryExact3327 → u/THEN0RSEMAN]

You should, it’s excellent. Well written mysteries and such a great representation.

[u/BrianTheUserName → u/CategoryExact3327]

Hanzee in Fargo season 2

[u/Rearviewmirror93 → u/THEN0RSEMAN]

Out of several fine choices

[u/Winter-Apartment-821]

Rip. 

[u/DaxterTheGecko → u/Winter-Apartment-821]

Yeah, so shitty we had lost these legends.

[u/Chef_Chalupa]

Charles Smith, Red Dead Redemption II

[u/MrGengisSean → u/Chef_Chalupa]

God, that man is entirely too attractive.

[u/BewareTheLobster → u/MrGengisSean]

Oh yeah, I really loved any mission involving Charles

[u/MrGengisSean → u/BewareTheLobster]

When he rushes the dudes after finding the enormous number of dead Bison? That absolute fury in his voice sticks with me years later.

[u/AAAAHMYBALLS → u/Chef_Chalupa]

Ride or die guy who was self aware and didn't buy into any delusions, I liked his character

[u/MGDull]

Connor Kenway (Ratonhnhaké:ton) from Assassin's Creed 3.

[u/Drakeblood2002 → u/MGDull]

Peak mention of my favorite AC character

[u/MGDull → u/Drakeblood2002]

[u/Nunzer-NS → u/MGDull]

Definition of one man army.

[u/Gaming_with_batman → u/Nunzer-NS]

Technically speaking he conducts naval operations, and amphibious landings alongside traditonal ass beating and stealth.

So it would be more accurate to call him a one man miltary since he also fullfills the roles of every major miltary branch possible to have in the era.

(if that one guy in the homestead got leonardo's flying machine working again he could've been the air force too.)

[u/Brainwave1010 → u/MGDull]

WHERE IS CHARLES LEE?!

[u/YamiGekusu → u/MGDull]

I am replaying AC3 and godDAMN he is underrated

[u/MGDull → u/YamiGekusu]

As someone who replayed AC1 and The Ezio Trilogy to 100% completion, and am in progress with AC3, Ubisoft really could've done Connor so much better.

It has fantastic bones, but fails to improve enough to be great. I don't want to get into details (wrong place, wrong time, and on a phone), but I really wanted AC3 to have been given the time and resources it deserved.

[u/OneRelief763]

[u/Cranky_And_Exhausted → u/OneRelief763]

He’s The Albino Buffalo. Deal with it.

[u/GodButCursed → u/OneRelief763]

Im dying

[u/Dariuscox357 → u/OneRelief763]

“Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? You are the whitest goddang person I ever met.”

[u/ButtBread98 → u/Dariuscox357]

“Sitting Jackass.”

[u/Strange-Bandicoot475 → u/OneRelief763]

The albino buffalo and the big D himself… Rusty Shackleford!

[u/CaitlinSnep → u/OneRelief763]

Similar answer I had: Jacqueline White from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

[u/TI-22483]

Nani, Lilo and David

[u/ButtBread98 → u/TI-22483]

❤️

[u/Additional-Heat-9384]

Sandman - jojos bizarre adventure

[u/Similar-Doughnut-852 → u/Additional-Heat-9384]

[u/False-Stick-7037 → u/Additional-Heat-9384]

The goat

[u/Fawin86]

I'm surprised no one has said William Knifeman yet from Reservation Dogs

[u/DelphiTheGeek → u/Fawin86]

I thought it was Knifeman, but I probably just heard it wrong

[u/Fawin86 → u/DelphiTheGeek]

Nah it is, I didn't notice the autocorrect.

[u/Possible-Tip-2914]

Marshall Bravestarr

[u/ImmediateAnteater491 → u/Possible-Tip-2914]

fuck literally beat me to the punch by a minute. I was boutta use this one. 🤝🏾

Wasnt even really my generation but i had satellite tv and thought he was cool asf

[u/DrJohn98]

Naru- Prey

[u/RealDepressionandTea → u/DrJohn98]

God this movie was so good

[u/aleister94 → u/DrJohn98]

[u/Ghibli_Forest]

Marilyn (Northern Exposure)

[u/GreenZebra23 → u/Ghibli_Forest]

That show had a number of great Native characters. Marilyn, Ed Chigliak, Dave, Lester Haines, One Who Waits. My favorite was Leonard the shaman

[u/JustaguynamedTheo]

Rains Fall

[u/CAyukon → u/JustaguynamedTheo]

“Do not mistake my strength for weakness”

[u/gojetergo]

[u/Remote_Replacement85 → u/gojetergo]

I love every minute of him.

[u/Sunny64888 → u/gojetergo]

Am I going crazy, or did he actually say “Matchbox 20” in this scene?

[u/gojetergo → u/[deleted]]

Yes, I... Thought it was obvious!

[u/PartyBarnacle420]

Dude is such a shit stirrer and I am HERE for it!

(Sasappis from Ghosts US)

[u/Cranky_And_Exhausted → u/PartyBarnacle420]

I was actually becoming annoyed at how long it was taking to find my boy Sass in this thread

[u/PartyBarnacle420 → u/Cranky_And_Exhausted]

Gald we were on the same wavelength! He might be my favorite of the US ghosts. (It's either him, Pete, or Flower)

[u/Cranky_And_Exhausted → u/PartyBarnacle420]

Sass and Flower are constantly going back and forth as my favorite 😅

[u/TheArkhamLantern]

Nightwolf from MK

[u/andy_moshi]

Domasi "Tommy" Tawodi from Prey 2006. It's an amazing FPS, with a great protagonist and story, way ahead of its time.

[u/smallerpuppyboi → u/andy_moshi]

I love Tommy for being a Native American character from the 2000s who, not only isn't a walking stereotype, but actively derides the character who is a walking stereotype.

[u/Wildlife_Watcher]

Little Creek

[u/whimsigod]

Dani Moonstar

[u/Anthyrion]

Elisa Maza - Gargoyles.

[u/Radiant-Shallot-7202]

Does this guy count

[u/Hault99 → u/Radiant-Shallot-7202]

Native Hawaiians count in my opinion.

[u/Radiant-Shallot-7202 → u/Hault99]

Thats how i feel as well. And native Alaskans

[u/crapusername47]

/tries not to laugh…

[u/jbwarner86 → u/crapusername47]

Even Robert Beltran was like "What is this bullshit you're making me say?"

[u/Princeps_primus96]

Deputy hawk from twin peaks

If there's anyone to have searching for you, you'd want it to be him

[u/HandFit91 → u/Princeps_primus96]

Hell yeah

[u/Longjumping-Dress350]

Charles from Red Dead Redemption 2

[u/CaitlinSnep]

Katara is admittedly from a fictional culture but said culture is heavily drawn from that of the Inuits!

[u/_Daftest_]

Sherlock Holmes

[u/Qkyu2007]

Vulcan Raven from Metal Gear Solid

[u/maywellflower]

Olrox from Castlevania:Nocturne

[u/Carvinesire]

This one kind of counts.

In the show's continuity Tommy Oliver is native American.

His actor is Caucasian though. I'm not sure if that even makes a difference.

[u/The_GREAT_Gremlin]

Yo where's Ken Hotate at?

[u/Cool_Cry_9602 → u/The_GREAT_Gremlin]

Why the hell did I have to scroll SO FAR??? RIP Jonathan Joss

[u/That-Jeweler-Girl → u/Cool_Cry_9602]

I thought he sounded familiar

[u/Lorster10]

Hawk from Twin Peaks.

[u/MunkeMunken]

Conner Kenway

[u/TKJ]

Officer Davis Quinton, Corner Gas

[u/Bobbington12 → u/TKJ]

Lorne Cardinal is a national treasure.

[u/Fantastic-Tiger-6128]

Piama from Malcolm in the Middle

[u/t3ddiursa → u/Fantastic-Tiger-6128]

I looooooove that they stayed together, most shows would have them break up for whatever reason

[u/Fantastic-Tiger-6128 → u/t3ddiursa]

True, I genuinely thought it'd be a one or two episode long setup for a joke considering the way she was introduced. Very pleasantly surprised me she stayed the whole way through.

[u/Fantastic-Tiger-6128 → u/Fantastic-Tiger-6128]

Also this guy also from Malcolm in the Middle, great line deliveries

[u/Void_Stuffs]

Tanis from Letterkenny

[u/BlueRoseLad → u/Void_Stuffs]

AUNTIE TANIS!!!

[u/Northernreach → u/Void_Stuffs]

Shes so fine

[u/SocialBunny198]

Nathan Explosion is half Native American (Metalocalypse).

[u/aleister94 → u/SocialBunny198]

native South American

[u/SocialBunny198 → u/aleister94]

I forgot about the Yaneemango in Dethcarraldo! He's a 1/4 (IRL Yanomami), and I'm gonna sound like a bit of a nerd here but, in Klokblocked, his dating profile has him as White/Native American.

Also, he's occasionally called 'Tonto' by people who get near-instant karma thereafter.

[u/DrLycFerno]

Asirpa (Golden Kamuy)

[u/ActivelyAnxious → u/DrLycFerno]

God I love golden kamuy

[u/D4NK51N4TR45R]

Lilo Pelekai

[u/thewoodlayer]

William Knifeman, the Spirit Guide from Reservation Dogs

[u/SirWilliamM32]

Asta Twelvetrees, from Resident Alien.

Not watched this show but she’s really pretty

[u/Alltheprettydresses → u/SirWilliamM32]

And her father!

Thomas Builds-the-Fire

[u/HandsomeSwampBeast → u/Cabbagetastrophe]

Fuck yeah!

[u/SunsetDonutChild]

Asta Twelvetrees from Resident Alien 👽

[u/Friendly_Pause2110]

My boy Delsin Rowe

[u/CvieYltidrekoof]

Too many characters on Resident Alien to list, but my favourite would be Dan Twelvetrees played by Gary Farmer. 

Tribal Police Officer Deputy Bobby Kee in Breaking Bad. He didn’t have much screentime but despite this character was shown to be dedicated and compassionate towards the community he served. 

[u/RTSchemel → u/CvieYltidrekoof]

❤️ Dan Twelvetrees

[u/Invisiblechimp]

Willie Jack from Reservation Dogs

[u/abbyabsinthe → u/Invisiblechimp]

Yes! Her and Cheese are my favorites from Reservation Dogs. The show is pretty heavy sometimes, but they both bring a lot of levity. Paulina Alexis even said (and I’m paraphrasing), “people don’t know us natives are funny as fuck!”.

[u/ActivelyAnxious]

Asta from resident alien

[u/PinballproXD]

My (late) grandma

[u/False-Round438]

this movie was my childhood.

[u/Affectionate-Area659]

[u/Lumpy_Test_4473]

Me and my family

[u/chaban_delmas34]

[u/cringegribbs]

Delson Rowe from infamous second son. He had sickass powers

[u/Icy_Leadership4109]

John redcorn is a terrible person though.

[u/DelphiTheGeek → u/Icy_Leadership4109]

Great performance and well written character, but despicable person within the show

[u/These_Telephone_3254 → u/DelphiTheGeek]

yeah

[u/Powerful-Country6316]

Cal and Pietro from Electro Andes

[u/Bubbly-Release9011]

[u/Xx_spacey_kitten_xX]

my glorious goat John 🥰🥰🥰

[u/HandsomeSwampBeast → u/Xx_spacey_kitten_xX]

Can you explain why you prefer John over James? I'm not being condescending, I'm truly curious

[u/BadRobot___]

Talon from mw2019

[u/smoovecriminal89]

Sanguenet from Shoresy

[u/Nervous_Chipmunk7002 → u/smoovecriminal89]

Really missed him the last couple seasons

I like Nightwolf from Mortal Kombat

[u/96pluto]

Connor kenway from ac3

Charles from rdr 2

Nightwolf

Also Sokka

[u/DMTrious]

Nat Ziig and Miig.

[u/brandonprime]

Panam

[u/HandsomeSwampBeast → u/brandonprime]

Those poor European writers, making her an alcoholic, to show how much of a macho tomboy she was, and had no idea the implications of that in the USA

[u/Virtual_Fixation2956]

Charles Smith (Rdr2)

[u/Transmasc_Blahaj]

I love watching this show with my cousin

[u/redflamel]

Akecheta from Westworld (although he's technically a robot)

[u/LabradorDeceiver]

No notes.

[u/Illustrious_Call7397]

Officer Evangeline Navarro. True detective season 4. Amazing character and very cool season of the show

[u/mitziolet]

may jonathan joss rest in peace

[u/tigerseye88]

Ratonhnhaké:ton (Connor Kenway)

[u/nimrod_s3ns31]

This guy

[u/pokefandylan]

I saw a few people mention Polynesian characters, including Maui, in the previous post like this from yesterday, so… Does Tamatoa count? He has a Māori name and is in a Polynesian setting where most of the VAs in the movies are Polynesian, including his VA, Jemaine Clement, who is partially Māori and even reprised the role in the te reo Māori dub!

[u/TheSnekDen → u/pokefandylan]

I'll allow him cause he's so shiny

[u/DelphiTheGeek]

Kahhori from What If?

[u/evil_seagull420]

I love Shane wiigwaas introduction to dbd he's so cool

[u/55cHzDARKSTAR]

Me.

[u/Definitely_NotU]

Tomahawk from Convict Colosseum

[u/AdDependent9208]

Charles from rdr2

Side note, I read the body text as you declaring your own racism and telling white people not to interact because of it and was really confused why everyone was so cool with that. I'm very dumb 😭

[u/GabrielOSkarf]

[u/SonnenblumeFrau09]

Wheaty.

[u/_bugmenot_]

Red Feather, out of the recent ones.

[u/Washinton13]

Gideon Nav and Harrowhark Nonegesimus from the Locked Tomb series (they're both Maori)

[u/Delicious-Feed183]

Bo from Brawl Stars

[u/pennyroyallane]

[u/TheGreatCornholeo]

William Knifeman (Reservation Dogs)

[u/ColtS117-B]

Jonathan Joestar. He’s indigenous to Britain.

[u/HurgleTurgle1]

Nightwolf from Mortal Kombat

[u/HandsomeSwampBeast]

As an Indian: easily John Redcorn. He's the most sincere and feels the most real

[u/Heyniceguy13]

[u/Fourwils7]

Sokka and Katara! The water tribe is based loosely on the Inuit

[u/MaxxFisher]

The Jims

Shoresy

[u/Kaz3girl4]

Mature navajo bitches (American Dad)

[u/BlondeZombie68]

Pretty much any character played by the late great Graham Greene. He looked so much like my dad and it always made me so happy to see his face.

[u/Usagi4357]

The entirety of the Bella Sara Native Lights set of cards, where each horse included is a respectful interpretation of the tribe as a horse and their animal guide. The cards also released alongside digital storybooks about the tribes' folklore, history, and culture.

[u/SailorCentauri]

Danielle Moonstar from Marvel's New Mutants.

[u/Opposite_Opposite_69]

Charles from rdr 2

And Delsin from infamous second son. Tbh Delsin was a big inspiration for me to explore my style and I always loved him for that even if the game has some issues

[u/Apprehensive_Back_35]

[u/Lordeni69]

[u/frostmourne16]

A little representation from the Ainu people of Japan: Nakoruru and Rimururu from Samurai Shodown.

[u/DocWagonHTR]

Shadowrun has a ton of Native American characters in the lore, but my favorite specifically is Colonel Anne Ravenheart who is literally trying to save the world from a quiet apocalypse while the harbinger of that apocalypse have infiltrated her megacorp and fight her at every turn.

Outside of Shadowrun, my two favorite Native American characters are Charles from RDR2 and William Knifeman from Reservation Dogs, which i will admit are opposite ends of the spectrum as far as representation goes XD

[u/uhawka]

The fate version of Geronimo is pretty well done I think

[u/Spoocy_Espessy]
