Over the ensuing decades the film has come to be thought of as one of the most influential, cinematic productions in american film history. For native people, the misrepresentations of the Comanche people have elicited the opposite response: often one of anger and rejection due to its stereotypical, hateful characterizations. at the same time, hundreds of navajo people participated as extras and crew members on the production, and their images on screen, their dress, the location, their style of riding are important depictions of navajo people in the mid twentieth century. this screening of The Searchers is presented on the heels of the recently released Hollywood blockbuster The Lone Ranger, another characterization of Comanches over 50 years later. Join us after the screening for an extended discussion of the past, current and future media representations of native people with nmaI director, kevin Gover (Pawnee), Ladonna Harris (Comanche) and Chris eyre (Cheyenne/arapaho), independent filmmaker and chair of the Santa Fe University of art and design moving Image art department.
