Abstract	This research focuses on how Native Americans experience various forms of physical and symbolic violence starting from the frontier era. This violence did not stop because during the heyday of cowboy films in Hollywood, the Natives always played the role of "Indians" who were very cruel and deadly to white Americans. Native Americans also faced symbolic violence when film studios saw them as objects that could be borrowed for shooting needs. Using a qualitative method, this research seeks to show that Indigenous American resistance is massive enough to put up a fight against these stereotypes so that white people in the American film industry lend their voices about discrimination and how Native American artists resisted by forming a union of Indigenous artists in America.
