Star Trek: Voyager Season 2 Episode 9 "Tattoo" explained. Join me as I review and recap the first big Chakotay episode that really gets into his character and back story with his father. However it is also controversial in its handling of Native American culture which is criticized by not being accurate. This has to do with the show's advisor on Native American culture being a known fraud. While I'm sure the show runners' hearts were in the right place, they wanting to continue Star Trek's tradition of inclusiveness, their execution had a lot to be desired. This is further complicated by the ending of the episode that implies aliens (played by white actors) helped the Native Americans settle the Americas and they were the only reason they thrived. Which I admit is not good optics, but it does seem like something Star Trek (TOS) would do. But despite this, I still found it to be a strong character story for Chakotay. Come see my first reaction as I breakdown the episode and attempt to give my in depth analysis
