Pamela J. Peters

Pamela J. Peters (born 1970 – Shiprock, New Mexico)[1] is an Indigenous multimedia documentarian from the Navajo Nation.

She produces films and photography exhibitions with the intent to deconstruct stereotypes of Native Americans in the mainstream media.

Recent projects include “Legacy of Exiled NDNZ,” inspired by the 1961 Kent Mackenzie film The Exiles, which examines the inter-generational impact of the Indian Relocation Act of 1956 in historical and contemporary Los Angeles, and “Real NDNZ Re-Take Hollywood,” which recreates iconic movie star portraits from the days of classical Hollywood cinema featuring contemporary Native American actors.

[8][9] She has spoken and exhibited work at numerous academic and cultural institutions, and her photographs have been published profusely.

Some of Peters's work was featured in the February/March issue of "Cowboys and Indians" along with an interview of Tommy Orange.
