Little Big Horn College

Subject:

Description:

This course explores representations of American Indians through film, including feature, independent and made for television movies. This class explores the ways in which U.S. history and American ideologies influence American Indian representations in film and mainstream interpretations of these images. This exploration then forces us to ask how these images and representations affect American Indian communities and American Indian peoples' identities. This class also discusses ways in which American Indian people can counteract mainstream stereotypes and work to create a more accurate representation of American Indians in mainstream and popular culture.
