One of the most prevalent media-driven stereotypes clouding the Native American women's image is the "princess" stereotype.  This archetype began in early documentation of Native American women, where women were whitewahsed and beautified.  These women were idealized; and human flaws were taken away from their image, and instead, a gentle, natural personality was applied.  They appeared to "transcend" their race's limitations.  Modern-day examples of the princess stereotype can be found in movies such as Disney's Pocahontas.  This stereotype continues to plague Native American representation, and as the squaw stereotype diminishes in popularity, the princess stereotype only rises.  Especially with the high occurance of white-washing of Native American characters in movies and TV shows, the Native American princess is often depicted as appearing very white.
