    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.

    THE FASHION INDUSTRY AS A SLIPPERY DISCURSIVE SITE: TRACING THE LINES OF FLIGHT BETWEEN PROBLEM AND INTERVENTION Nadia K. Dawisha A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Communication in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Patricia Parker Sarah Dempsey Steve May Michael Palm Neringa Klumbyte © 2016 Nadia K. Dawisha ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Nadia K. Dawisha: The Fashion Industry as a Slippery Discursive Site: Tracing the Lines of Flight Between Problem and Intervention (Under the direction of Dr. Patricia Parker) At the intersection of the glamorous façade of designer runway shows, such as those in Paris, Milan and New York, and the cheap prices at the local Walmart and Target, is the complicated, somewhat insidious “business” of the fashion industry. It is complicated because it both exploits and empowers, sometimes through the very same practices; it is insidious because its most exploitative practices are often hidden, reproduced, and sustained through a consumer culture in which we are all in some ways complicit. Since fashion’s inception, people and institutions have employed a myriad of discursive strategies to ignore and even justify their complicity in exploitative labor, environmental degradation, and neo-colonial practices. This dissertation identifies and analyzes five predicaments of fashion while locating the multiple interventions that engage various discursive spaces in the fashion industry. Ultimately, the analysis of discursive strategies by creatives, workers, organizers, and bloggers reveals the existence of agile interventions that are as nuanced as the problem, and that can engage with disciplinary power in all these complicated places.

Introduction In recent years, several Native American tribes have begun a journey into the unfamiliar terrain of intellectual property rights as a means to assert their self-determination, secure economic independence, and protect their cultural identities. Although "ideas about property have played a central role in shaping the American legal order,"2 in the prevailing legal literature of intellectual property law in the United States, the protection of Native American intellectual property rights is rarely an issue of consideration. Suzan Shown Harjo, in her article, Native Peoples' Cultural and Human Rights: An Unfinished Agenda, writes: "The cultural and intellectual property rights of Native Peoples are worthy of being addressed during this time of increased appropriation of Native national names, religious symbology, and cultural images."3 In contrast, within the realm of international law, the topic of intellectual property is a high priority, uniting the concerns for self-determination and economic independence.

    July 6, 2020 VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL Roger Goodell, Commissioner National FootBall League 280 Park Avenue New York, NY 10017 [email protected] Dear Mr. Goodell, The undersigned are Native American leaders and organizations that have worked tirelessly and substantively for over half a century to change the racist name of the Washington team. We appreciate the statements made in recent days regarding the league and the team’s intention to revisit the name, But we are deeply concerned that the process or decision to rename is Being made in aBsence of any discussion with the concerned leadership. Specifically, we, the undersigned, request that the NFL immediately: 1. Require the Washington NFL team (Owner- Dan Snyder) to immediately change the name R*dsk*ns, a dictionary defined racial slur for Native Peoples. 2. Require the Washington team to immediately cease the use of racialized Native American Branding By eliminating any and all imagery of or evocative of Native American culture, traditions, and spirituality from their team franchise including the logo. This includes the use of Native terms, feathers, arrows, or monikers that assume the presence of Native American culture, as well as any characterization of any physical attributes. 3. Cease the use of the 2016 Washington Post Poll and the 2004 National AnnenBerg Election Survey which have Been repeatedly used By the franchise and supporters to rationalize the use of the racist r-word name. These surveys were not academically vetted and were called unethical and inaccurate By the Native American Journalist Association as well as deemed damaging By other prominent organizations that represent Native Peoples.

    STATEMENT OF SUZAN SHOWN HARJO, PRESIDENT, THE MORNING STAR INSTITUTE, FOR THE OVERSIGHT HEARING ON NATIVE AMERICAN SACRED PLACES BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON INDIAN AFFAIRS, UNITED STATES SENATE, WASHINGTON, D.C., JUNE 18, 2003 Mr. Chairman, Mr. Vice Chairman and Members of the Committee on Indian Affairs, thank you for holding another in the series of oversight hearings on Native American sacred places. The national Sacred Places Protection Coalition is most appreciative of the opportunity to develop a record on the status of Native American sacred places, how they are faring under existing laws and policies and what new law needs to be enacted for their protection. It is our hope that the Committee will continue its series of oversight hearings and, in this 25th anniversary year of enactment of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act, will begin to develop legislation that treats the subject with the seriousness it deserves. Since the Committee’s last oversight hearing, the Sacred Places Protection Coalition conducted a gathering of Native American traditional religious leaders and practitioners, as well as tribal representatives, cultural specialists and attorneys. The gathering, which was held in San Diego, California, on November 8 and 9, 2002, produced a major policy statement regarding legislation to protect Native sacred places: “Gathering to Protect Native Sacred Places: Consensus Position on Essential Elements of Public Policy to Protect Native Sacred Places.” Participants at the gathering considered strategies for protecting Native sacred places and arrived at a consensus on the essential elements and the objectionable elements of any public policy to protect Native sacred places.
