Best Answer

Irene Bedard has appeared in many recent movies/films in native American roles. She is actually of mixed race background (Inuit and Metis) but she has appeared as a Lakota, as a Navajo, as Minnehaha, as the voice of Pocahontas, as the mother of Pocahontas and as a half-Lakota half-white woman - and various other native roles.

She is a typical example of the "one size fits all" native American beloved by Hollywood, completely ignoring the different physical appearances between, say, a Powhatan woman and a Lakota woman. She has always appeared on screen with her eyebrows intact, when almost all historic native Americans traditionally removed their eyebrows.
