329 The Imagery Of The American Indian In Film (0-1)
This course will trace the imagery of the American Indian used by film makers
through the years and how this has played a role in reinforcing certain
inaccurate perceptions of American Indian cultural, social, and economic life.
The course examines the sociological implications created by persistently
showing misrepresented images of American Indians. The goal is to measure and
compare the reality of American Indian life (values , Traditions, and beliefs)
with the images created by film makers from the early years of the 20th century
to the present. Also cross listed as Anthropology 325.
