In what realm of television do we find exceptions to the consistent pattern that if American Indians are represented, they are secondary to white characters?

its kind of blury sorry

would it be plagiarism to copy and paste off of here? ?

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
