I am posting this here for information about some of the background of the series.
One of the characters that are a hit and miss for me is Chakotay. Overall, I like the character a lot, but a lot of the details/plot of his Native American background never felt right. At first, I figured it was the writer's room writing without a consultant, but sadly it is worse than that. The show had a Native American consultant, who turned out to not be Native American.
You can find out more about it in these two articles:
https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Jamake_Highwater
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamake_Highwater
So if you are watching any Chakotay storylines or scenes and his ancestry comes up and it feels a bit cringy, you are right. Overall the story of Jamake Highwater is pretty squicky.
