  • An Examination of Native Americans in Film and Rise of Native Filmmakers by Julia Boyd — 105
    An Examination of Native Americans in Film and Rise of Native Filmmakers by Julia Boyd — 105 An Examination of Native Americans in Film and Rise of Native Filmmakers Julia Boyd Media Arts and Entertainment, Concentration: Cinema Elon University Abstract This paper explored the role of Native Americans in the Hollywood film industry and their actions to estab- lish authentic representations of their population and culture in the media. Using academic literature, film analyses, and contemporary film reviews and articles, the author created a synthesis of the history of Na- tive Americans in film. The author concluded that by becoming producers, directors, and writers of their own stories, American Indians have regained control of their images and been able to combat stereotypes and the exclusion of Native Americans in the creative process. Positive social change for minority populations can be optimized when these populations are in control of their own images in film and media. I. Introduction One can use art, music, literature, television and film to trace patterns in society. Since the invention of moving images in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, film has been a particularly powerful me- dium. Films have served as escapist fantasies, allowing audiences to enter astonishing worlds and encounter wild and colorful characters. Movies have also been used to convey truths about society that are more easily digested in a fictional format. Difficult topics such as the nature of humanity, love, and war have all been explored with film as the tool that disseminates these themes into the consciousness of the masses. With the rise of mass media and popular culture came the onset of a collective consciousness that could be shared by people all over the world, rather than people of a particular culture relying on their own ancestry and specific history.

  • Conversations About Johnny Depp As Tonto, and Representations of Native Americans in Popular Culture
    LESSON: Conversations about Johnny Depp as Tonto, and Representations of Native Americans in Popular Culture Created by Michael P. Ayers, John F. Kennedy High School, Cedar Rapids, IA For “Native Americans in New England,” a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Institute Professors Alice Nash and Neal Salisbury, Directors University of Massachusetts July 7 to July 27, 2013 Introduction This three-day lesson is intended to help students write short essays in which they synthesize multiple pieces of source material into their own arguments. Moreover, it is intended to introduce students to a series of public conversations taking place around media representations of Native American characters, and to see how the various arguments and perspectives intersect within that conversation. As stated on the essay question found below: The cinematic representation of Native Americans has been a problematic issue since the early days of film. In recent years, Native and non-Native insiders and outsiders to Hollywood have expressed concern about how Native Americans are portrayed, reliance on stereotypes, and which actors step into those roles. In the spring and summer of 2013, those conversations got a higher profile with the release of Disney’s big-budget summer film, The Lone Ranger, in which Johnny Depp played the well-known character Tonto. Over three days, students will wrestle with these ideas through (a) reading and viewing a total of seven sources, (b) articulating ideas about those sources, and the arguments and perspectives within them, through class discussion, and (c) writing a 40-minute timed essay conveying what they think are the most important ideas within those seven sources.

  • Antiseptic Humor: Using Comedy to Confront Realities and Refute
    Antiseptic Humor: Using Comedy to Confront Realities and Refute Stereotypes in the Works of Sherman Alexie by Janie Lynn Bryan June, 2015 Director of Thesis: Dr. Su-ching Huang Major Department: English Sherman Alexie, a Native American author of poems, novels, plays, and film uses humor to expose and to explore lingering cultural stereotypes affecting people of Native American ancestry. These stereotypes often conflict with their actual identity and mainstream society’s ambiguous expectations of them in modern life. Analyzing various genres from his works, I propose that Alexie’s works include both positive and negative stereotypes not only to teach but also to delight. With observation and wit, Alexie refutes prevailing cross-tribal stereotypes of alcoholism, spirituality, and residence of Indian reservations, and he confronts the deeper, serious social problems that are bypassed by such stereotyping. Like a doctor designing a treatment plan for a chronic care patient, Alexie approaches the stereotypical views of Native Americans by identifying symptoms and providing antiseptic humor to help heal the pain caused by prejudices suffered by Native Americans on and off the reservations.

An article defending the petition states: “With so few movie heroes in the US being people of color, non-white children receive a very different message from Hollywood, one that too often relegates them to sidekicks, villains, or background players.”1 Additional examples of such outcries over recent miscasting include Johnny Depp as Tonto in The Lone Ranger (2013), as well as, to a lesser extent, Benicio Del Toro as Jimmy Picard in Arnaud Desplechins’s Jimmy P.: Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian (2013).2 Neither the problem nor the outcry are new. Many studies have shown why the movie industry has often employed non-Indian actors to portray Indian characters.
