HST 250.G, Imagining Indians: American Indian History through Film and Popular Culture
1:30-3:45 MT R - Dr. Daniel Cobb

"Imagining Indians" explores popular representations of the indigenous peoples of North America from an historical perspective. In addition, it considers how Native peoples have used popular culture as a vehicle for self-representation. This latter development, we shall see, has been no small feat. Indeed, depictions of "savagery" and "backwardness" were originally manufactured as part of a larger process of eliminating Indians as a presence in what European newcomers thought of as the "New World." In this course, we will consider sources such as captivity narratives, plays, fiction, documentaries, "popular" histories, the internet, and especially film.
