let's play cowboys & indians

The 9th of August has been marked as the international day of the world's indigenous peoples. 
Besides a United Nations rather unimaginative statement, Playmobil has a new play set. It is called Native Americans 2.0. 
I am not quite sure what is the message that they are trying to convey. I can only speculate. I also wonder whether this could be a long-term project, let's say whether Playmobil will promote internet literacy skills to other indigenous peoples too. 
I am confused though about how we are supposed to play cowboys and indians now.
