Hey everyone! Just wanted to announce that I am deleting all of my resources of Sara Tomko, deleting the reblogs of her to indigenousrph, and deleting her, of course, off of my directories. I would ask that anyone looks if you reblogged any of my packs of her, and delete them if you did.

Sara claimed, back in 2017, to be Cherokee and Blackfoot. I can no longer find the source on her specifically claiming Cherokee and Blackfoot, but if you google her name with Once Upon A Time, you will see articles praising Once Upon A Time for hiring an actual Native actress to play a Native character (Tiger Lily). And yes, to repeat that, Sara Tomko played Tiger Lily in Once Upon A Time, a Native (specifically Blackfoot) character.

I was then, today, reading an interview she did last year, where she says in part (the entire interview is linked in the source link below so you can read it if you want but I’m not copying and pasting the whole interview):

“I am not a part of a tribe or a community,” Tomko explains, “and so it’s respectful to acknowledge and showcase that there are so many wonderful native actors on this show. Chris has done an incredible job, being so inclusive to that community, and writing so respectfully and authentically”

So yup, got a pretendian on our hands, Sara Tomko is a pretendian (though a strange one in that she used to claim it, and now no longer claims it). I would encourage not making resources of her or using her as a fcgiven her involvement in whitewashing Tiger Lily, but if you do … at the very least do not claim it is Native representation.
