  I m not sure what is meant by "display" in the last two comments. Are we 
talking about the display of item labels? If so, then I would agree that the 
display of the native name in the English interface would be desirable. None of 
the Indigenous artists I reach out to in order to validate their identity have 
user account. Consequently, they see labels displaying colonial names in 
English and this is disincentive for them to want to engage with Wikidata. I 
acknowledge this is not a forum to discuss naming policies, but I had to 
mention this nonetheless.
