This class examines Native American and Indigenous representations in film and how these images have developed from the golden era of the Hollywood Western (1930s-1950s) to "sympathetic" depictions of Native American culture in the 1970s and 1980s, to films produced, written and directed by Native American filmmakers starting in the 1990s and today. In this intensive course, we will study the films in broader historical and cultural contexts to explore the creation of pervasive stereotypes; power and control over representation; identity, storytelling, and self-determination.
