From the moment film emerged as a new medium at the turn of the 19th century, American Indian people participated in its creation and consumption, as actors, directors, writers and viewers. From the beginning, they left their own impression on the industry. This seminar explores the roles American Indian people have played in passively and actively shaping American film from the earliest silent Westerns to films that emerge from the experiences of Native communities today. We also examine how the representation of American Indian people in films has changed as the sociopolitical environment of the United States shifted, and how this representation has shaped and been shaped by the changing way America understands its own identity and place in the world. |
