    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

THE WAY WE NEVER WERE: NATIVE AMERICANS IN POPULAR CULTURE: A PROPOSAL FOR A VIRTUAL REALITY BASED EXHIBIT Thesis Approved: Dr. Bill Bryans Thesis Adviser Dr. Laura Arata Dr. Doug Miller ii Acknowledgements I dedicate this thesis to the one person without whom I would not be able to pursue my dreams and goals. For twenty-five years, through every twist and turn of a constantly changing life, she has supported, nurtured, loved, and encouraged me with an abundance of love and the occasional metaphoric kick in the pants. Everything I have been successful at in the last quarter century of my life was only possible because of you. This one is for my Chicago-Hawaiian Rose, Anette Ketchem. I love you. I would also like to thank a few others for invaluable assistance along the way. To the faculty of the History Department and the College of Education at Oklahoma State University, thank you for helping me expand my knowledge base and professional skills. To Lu Ireton, Rodney Stewart, Robert Wilds, Tinia Petties, James Smallwood, Bill Steinbrink, and Patricia Nowlin, thank you for showing me by example the right way to teach. To the Power Triplets, Cara Eubanks, Sarah Barton, and Emma Fritz, your friendship and ebullient humor kept me sane through some truly stressful times as we pursued our MA degrees.
