Current Indian portraits may be extreme, absurd or romantic, but there are few portraits of real people. From the local point of view, there are no genuine Indians in America, only tribal people exist, gradually trying to leave sacred knowledge while mixing tribal culture gradually. In many cases, when children in this country meet Indians in real life they are afraid to speak with people, or even fear that they are nearby.

However, for many Americans, the contrast between the two represents a greater fact. It is mainly white media. (A spokesperson for the AP told that the boy encountered "robbery" explanation as the photographer saw him enter the store to get the goods.
