20 Family-Friendly Native Films to Cure Thanksgiving Indigestion

It's actually hard to find "on-message" kid-friendly Native films. This is my attempt. If you agree or disagree with anything in this list, please comment below. I drew the line at Disney's Pocahontas but put in Moana and Lilo and Stitch. In my notes I specify if they're native directed, or otherwise. Feedback encouraged!
