    I literally do not know the deets. Is Robert Beltran not Native American?

      The consultant they had for the show pretended to be from a native American tribe but was just a white dude grifter. Others probably have more details but that's all I can recall about it right now. I don't believe Robert Beltran has native American ancestry, which is probably why they decided to hire someone with that experience to consult the writers and actors. If I recall correctly, Beltran is Mexican.

        I watched a lot of Voyager and the native thing always felt a bit unnatural and sus, but I couldn't put my finger on it, and I was too lazy to Google. Thanks for this post.

    "Bitch Face Resting" is also the least fun character in all of Star Trek. It's like he was written to make indigenous people seem annoying.
