The omission of Native Peoples’ existence, experiences, and perspectives is systematic and widespread across numerous societal domains, referred to as Native omission. In mainstream media, for example, less than 0.5% of representations are of contemporary Native Peoples. We theorize that Native omission is a tool furthering settler colonial goals to oppress and eventually erase Native Peoples. To make this case, we will review both experimental and national survey studies that unpack how Native omission shapes psychological processes among non-Native and Native individuals and contribute to discrimination, oppression, and disparities facing Native Peoples. We then discuss ways in which Native Peoples are actively resisting Native omission. Finally, we provide a series of policy recommendations to address Native omission and promote Native equity. By making visible the pernicious consequences of omission for Native Peoples, we chart a path for creating a more equitable future.

遗漏是对原住民的一种现代形式的偏见：对政策和实践的影响

对原住民的存在、经历和观点的忽视是系统性的、广泛存在于众多社会领域的，被称为原住民遗漏。例如，在主流媒体中，当代原住民的报道比例不足 0.5%。我们的理论是，原住民的遗漏是促进定居者压迫并最终消灭原住民的殖民目标的工具。为了证明这一点，我们将回顾实验性和全国性调查研究，这些研究揭示了原住民的遗漏如何影响非原住民和原住民个体的心理过程，并导致原住民面临的歧视、压迫和差异。然后我们讨论原住民积极抵制原住民遗漏的方式。最后，我们提供了一系列政策建议来解决原住民遗漏问题并促进原住民公平。通过让原住民的疏忽造成的有害后果变得可见，我们为创造更公平的未来指明了道路。
