It’s not hiding history to update something. Keeping it unchanged dooms you to cavalierly repeating outdated sensibilities, which perpetuates an acceptance of old ways of thinking that continue to go unchallenged.
Change is inevitable in all things, so maybe it’s better to apply those big boy, or girl, or nonbinary pants to THAT sentiment and move on.
Nothing is outdated and keeping things the same means keeping things great and in utiopia. Change is not a part of my life or my family’s life and when I take over Disney the parks won’t be changing either. Humans peaked in the 20th century and that’s where Disney and the parks will be locked in under my administration, only allowing registered Disney purists and Walt loyalists to visit. Disney will have a fanbase of clones.
Covering up the concept of fierce natives does not erase them from history. History still exists.
John Allen Chau (December 18, 1991 – November 17, 2018) was an American evangelical Christian missionary who was killed by the Sentinelese, a tribe in voluntary isolation,.
Sixty-four years ago, on January 8, 1956, five men between the ages of 27 and 32 were speared to death trying to reach a violent, indigenous tribe in Ecuador with the gospel. Jim Elliot, Pete Fleming, Ed McCully, Nate Saint, and Roger Youderian.
Real people–Disney you can only erase history for the illiterate or the ignorant. Those of us who read know the truth.
By the same token, cherrypicking specific events from history does not paint a full and complete picture of the people involved in those events. Those of us who read also know that peaceful natives and murderous Christians existed throughout history as well.
It was an accurate historical depiction the way it was. It is not stereotyping to show people how they actually were. If you are offended then your problem should be with the original headhunters, not with a deduction of their existence.
Why is it Disney’s job to provide an accurate historical depiction for an attraction that’s not designed to educate in the first place? Should we also criticize them for not accurately depicting interstellar travel on Space Mountain?

If you hide the history you do not like, you are doomed to repeat it.
Put on your big boy pants and big girl panties and move on.

I’ve never heard of “utiopia” and neither has Google. I assume it’s a state of delusion?

Walt designed the parks to be educational and he would’ve turned you aside at the gates.
