Sure, there are people in Hollywood who saw the injustice but who would be blacklisted by such a powerful organization and others who saw it fit to file protest. The big media blitz would have worked on that move. But who would have known then, that the abusrd greed and horrible merchandising would even have left the poor out of propane and so much more while dolls are being sold and lunchboxes toting tea sets in the theme of the movie. I would not live in the house which was paid for by the movie. Yet I cannot pass judgement as I am not the actor - I am not Indian, yet I could identify with the dignity needed to keep on the track.
Nobodies perfect anyone can sell out, or at least appear to sell out.
Then, the two writers for the Disney Movie got awards, and as the score composer spoke he abrubptly and definitively made fun of the merchandising. I does not happen that way. The non-Indian artists don't know who to listen to, there really is no one native voice which represents the many points of view. The actor was being lured and used as a rousse. Maybe he saw it and maybe he didn't, but only he knows the reasons.
