“It’s great that Disney has gone the extra mile in consulting with the relevant Native Nations for the redesign of their spa,” said Justin Richland, professor of anthropology at the University of California, Irvine. “California is home to the largest number of both Native American individuals and tribal nations anywhere in the U.S. … and I see Disney’s effort in reaching out to indigenous consultants — including the Miwok family with whom they engaged — as an important way to acknowledge the central place Native Americans had, and continue to have, in the unfolding story of California’s past, present and future.”
