I use to be an avid America's Next Top Model fan. It was fun and interesting and incredibly addicting. But nowadays, Tyra Banks is legit crazy and the show is no fun.
Except they got a legit American Indian model on the show. Previous models have been part Native American, but Mariah Watchman is the first one to actually have grown on a reservation. Interesting! She embraces her identity in her photographs:

Not really sure what this photoshoot was about..
Either way, I think it's a nice mainstream exposure of Native American reservation-ness to a TV audience. But who knows how they will paint her and what her image will be like.. ANTM isn't exactly known for being fair bout that. Maybe I'll have to watch... maybe you'll have to watch!
