I am a Native native Arizonan of the Pima tribe. I love to fly Alaska Airlines with the “smiling Eskimo” because it is the face of an indigenous person, someone who represents the true Americans of the country. When I fly Alaska Airlines, I feel like everyone who sees the plane knows the source of the image: Indigenous, Native, and American. It is as much a statement of origin as Air Force One when it lands in other countries or even another city in the USA.
