It seems to be yeah. That's rather unfortunate considering it's basically pay walled. If I can be honest I'm not opposed to someone charging for the work they do, especially when that work is any form of art. However when you're educating on any Native matter it feels a little insidious to charge people for that information. Obviously I'm not sitting here accusing the show runners/creators of being malicious, it's just annoying to me as someone who recently had one of my greatest resources for learning my Native language, a fucking dictionary; locked out behind a sudden and unnecessary subscription based pay wall. I see this constantly with regards to Native things, if there's something that would educate someone either about Native culture, or language it's typically going to be hard to access without payment or physically being somewhere to speak to a specific individual in person. As a Lakota who grew up in my culture and then being denied that culture, it's annoying for lack of a better word when I find something that would otherwise be a neat resource for learning what I don't know; and I'm asked to pay. It's different if I know it would at least go to Native people, I've purchased various books and resources for Lakota language in the past and I'm happy to do so when I know that money is at least going to my people.
