Native American Studies Program 28 - Native Americans:Film and Television

Institution:

Dartmouth College

Subject:

Description:

Not offered in the period from 08F through 10S This course surveys the historical and contemporary imagining of American Indian people and assesses the impact on the Native people of America. Stereotyping of American Indians in Hollywood film and television programming has created a symbolic view that has dominated American pop culture-a view that continues today. A lack of cultural understanding of Indian people has perpetuated an unrealistic portrayal. Only by reviewing the reality of history-rather than the myth-can individual students have a view of Native American societies and people. This course looks at how symbolic imagining of American Indians in film and television has produced negative consequences, and how important it is to overcome such stereotypes, to insure a more realistic portrayal of Indian people in the future Dist: ART; WCult: W. Goeman.
