Hi LA Culture Net - could you please ask these people in the group not to reply to all? I’m a BIPOC artist and applied anthropologist who teaches at the university level… I understand how people feel a certain way about these identity topics, but this debate maybe shouldn’t be sent to all members? Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I really appreciate it.?

It is more appropriate to refer to people being filmed in a Documentary as "subjects" but even this is problematic for communities who were historically marginalized. Better to use the term "participants" or "interviewees".
Also need some clarification: Are you looking for specifically California Native Tribal members, or members of other Tribal Nations who are currently living/based in LA County?
If you are looking specifically for California Native Tribal Members, it is probably better to contact the tribes directly to see if they have a cultural resource office that could recommend a culture-bearer for you to interview.
