LOS GATOS, CA — As part of its ongoing push to create updated versions of classic and beloved stories while maintaining its commitment to promoting sensitivity to modern social norms, Netflix announced that it would be producing a new series titled Little House on the Prarie that We Acknowledge is the Ancestral Land of the Brave and Honorable Lower-West Non-Lakota Sioux Community.
While Netflix admitted that the show's title may be seen as cumbersome, it best represented the values and worldview its producers wanted to convey. The streaming giant said that although the source material and original television series were highly regarded, changes needed to be made to recognize the true owners of the eponymous prairie.
"It's perfectly fine to have your little house, but we have to admit whose prairie it is," said Netflix spokesperson Evelyn Horton. "The previous television adaptation of the book was nice for what it was, but it made it seem as though the family of white colonizers held proprietary rights over the prairie, which is not a message we want to send to our viewers."
Horton assured devoted fans of the book series and original show that the change would not impact the overall story. "It'll still be a great show," she said. "The heartwarming tale of a family of Anglo-Saxon invaders stealing the beautiful ancestral land of the proud Indigenous people. That's what the book is about, right?"
At publishing time, Netflix also confirmed that the Ingalls family would be the villains of the new series.
