The Navi  are very much a composite of Native American and African cultures. Disturbingly so. I do not think the portrayal is demeaning, but it is so obvious it throws a spanner or monkey-wrench into my attention mill.

The woman priestess or shaman - the mother of the main female character - has an accent that distinctly sounds like she comes from Botswana, and the male chief sounds like Iron Eyes Cody.
