Echo has one of the longest histories in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it’s one we see reverberate throughout the series. While flashbacks have always been a hallmark of the MCU, Echo takes the device to new heights, exploring Indigenous characters from chapters of Maya’s long lineage and making them an active part of her story. Through these flashbacks, which each follow a different powerful Choctaw woman through history — Chafa, Lowak, Tuklo, Taloa, and finally Maya — Echo highlights cultural elements of the Choctaw Nation that would otherwise go ignored.
