Representation of Native Americans

I went to high school and mascot was a warrior of Native Americans. I came from a mascot that was a dog's junior high school, so it seems strange to move to a human mascot. After that, I learned that Native Americans are suppressed in the classroom of high school history. When institutions and sports organizations are formed, strong mascots are used. Mascot is the highest fearless and dangerous creatures. American Indians will draw attention for the 1919's Native American problem and the early 20 th century hold.

Through the 20th century, Native American media representatives continued to lower the use and value of the community through public attractions such as the Wild West Show in Buffalo Building. This outdoor show demonstrates the reproduction of Native American customs such as Buffalo Hunting, Border Wars, Border Technique and places the story of Native American on a commercialized display. After that, along with the development of the Hollywood movie industry, the "Hollywood Indian" movie in the early 20 th century became more and more representative, many of which were excessively dramatized by Native Americans (movies, feathers, long hair, etc.). It is characterized by a stereotype. The plot "conquered" barbarian American natives. In addition to the merciless stereotypes of the media, the main role of "Indian Chiefs" and other Native American characters is for Aboriginal actors other than Caucasian Americans, but actual Native American actors are still at work I am underpaid.

Native American performance in popular movies is equally interesting in that they are problems. On the other hand, the subject is still somewhat static, and the authors of these texts - mainly Europe and America - are in the past 5 years. It has undergone a drastic change for decades. Through the analysis of the movie made since 1950, I believe that a representative of the American Indians belongs to two paradigms of social history forgery. The deployment of these two modes is far from harmless movies, and through the reduction of fixed ideas the commercialization of indigenous culture has been perpetuated and the absence of indigenous representation rights in society is prolonged. However, the recent increase in the number of films produced and supervised by indigenous Americans may indicate a positive trend in the distribution of movies and social forces in the community.
