Why should or shouldn't

Let's branch out

Stereotypes!

Native Americans are stereotyped in todays cartoons. Todays cartoons are filled with historical inaccuracies (Peanuts & Pocahontas) and constant stereotypes of the savage warrior. See if you can spot the stereotype?

Aboriginal people are often represented in a negative light. This video exposes the stereotypical and racist images that are often depicted by mainstream society. On the flip side, I would like people to be aware of the positive contributions that First Nations people have made to our communities.

What's it like to be a young Native American today? Teens from throughout the United States share their stories in this In the Mix special co-hosted by rap star and film actor Litefoot. Shot around the country, the program features a champion lacrosse player from western New York, a Grammy-nominated flute player from rural Idaho, and short films made by teens in Alaska and Washington State. A group of young leaders from cities and reservations also weigh in on the issues that affect them every day—common misconceptions and stereotypes about Native Americans, how they balance traditional culture with contemporary concerns, and their hopes for the future.

cultural and historical paradigms
