Chupacabra555: You know, I was recently watching a youtube bit on "Pocahontas", where the reviewer (Lindsay Ellis, aka "Nostalgia Chick") pointed out that she was drawn in a 'sexualized' manner for a indigenous person, unlike other later characters from disney like Moana or Nani.
While I might agree with Moana, I don't necessarily agree with Nani. Although she was never shown wearing a 'Sexy Native Outfit' (except for her waitress job), she was certainly drawn in a manner that could still appeal to the 'male gaze' (which I'm not belittling, to be sure).
Although this image here is a heavily edited, super-sexualized version, just do a google search for images of her from the actual film. Nothing But Curves ^_^, kinda like another native from a non-disney animated movie, Chel from "Road to El Dorado".
