How to value cultural expertise in media work

I've been asked to consult on three different TV shows about 'authentic Native representation' but none of them want to pay me what they pay their other consultants.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Entertainment industries exploit indigenous knowledge by expecting cultural labor to be motivated by representation rather than fairly compensated as professional expertise.
