    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 By JON C. KETCHEM Bachelor of Secondary Education - Social Studies Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 2004 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS December, 2017. 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.

Photo MEDIA SPOTLIGHT Monument Valley Cinematic Symbol of the American West For the complete photos with media resources, visit: http://education.nationalgeographic.com/media/cinematic-symbol-west/ Monument Valley is a wide expanse straddling the border of the U.S. states of Arizona and Utah. It is marked by enormous rock features, including mesas, cliffs, and buttes. The most famous landscape of Monument Valley probably includes the Mittens, a pair of buttes with thin "thumb" outcrops. In dozens of films stretching back almost a century, Monument Valley has stood as a symbol of the American West. What "the West" means has changed over time. The first movie to bring Monument Valley to the attention of the American public was Stagecoach (1939). Stagecoach is the story of a group of white settlers, violently attacked by Apaches while traveling across the Arizona and New Mexico territories. The settlers, including the outlaw the Ringo Kid, are looking to start new lives for themselves in the West of the 1800s. The Ringo Kid is played by John Wayne, an American actor who soon became associated with Western movies and, often, America itself. The film was directed by John Ford, one of the most iconic and influential directors of all time. Ford went on to make nine moves in Monument Valley. John Ford was also the director of My Darling Clementine (1946), a retelling of the famous "Gunfight at the O.K.

    From: Reviews and Criticism of Vietnam War Theatrical and Television Dramas (http://www.lasalle.edu/library/vietnam/FilmIndex/home.htm) compiled by John K. McAskill, La Salle University ([email protected]) T7300 THE TRIAL OF BILLY JACK (USA, 1974) Credits: director, Frank Laughlin ; writers, Frank Laughlin, Teresa Christina Laughlin (Delores Taylor) Cast: Tom Laughlin, Delores Taylor, Victor Izay, Teresa Laughlin. Summary: Melodrama set in contemporary Arizona. Billy Jack (Laughlin), the mixed-race Native American, ex-Green Beret, and Vietnam vet, is put on trial for two killings he committed in self-defense while protecting the Freedom School from small-town Arizona bigots. He is convicted and sent to prison, but the Freedom School thrives under Jean Roberts (Taylor). When Billy Jack is paroled for good behavior, he returns home to explore his tribal spiritual heritage. Meanwhile the Freedom School’s television station has broadcast exposés of America’s sociopolitical ills which have annoyed local officials. National Guard troops occupy the school’s campus, but the students resist. Billy Jack agrees to surrender to the Guard if they withdraw, but the Guard opens fire, killing many students and wounding Billy and Jean. The Guard is finally forced to withdraw from the reservation by the terms of an 1880 treaty, and Billy and Jean vow to rebuild the Freedom School. Includes flashbacks to atrocities committed by American troops in Vietnam. Adair, Gilbert. Hollywood’s Vietnam [GB] (p. 61) ___________.
