In "Native Recognition," Joanna Hearne persuasively argues for the
central role of Indigenous image-making in the history of American
cinema. Across the twentieth and into the twenty-first centuries,
Indigenous peoples have been involved in cinema as performers,
directors, writers, consultants, crews, and audiences, yet both the
specificity and range of this Native participation have often been
obscured by the on-screen, larger-than-life images of Indians in
the Western. Not only have Indigenous images mattered to the
Western, but Westerns have also mattered to Indigenous filmmakers
as they subvert mass culture images of supposedly vanishing
Indians, repurposing the commodity forms of Hollywood films to
envision Native intergenerational continuity. Through their
interventions in forms of seeing and being seen in public culture,
Native filmmakers have effectively marshaled the power of visual
media to take part in national discussions of social justice and
political sovereignty for North American Indigenous peoples.
"Native Recognition" brings together a wide range of little-known
productions, from the silent films of James Young Deer, to
recovered prints of the 1928 "Ramona" and the 1972 "House Made of
Dawn," to the experimental and feature films of Victor Masayesva
and Chris Eyre. Using international archival research and close
visual analysis, Hearne expands our understanding of the complexity
of Native presence in cinema both on screen and through the
circuits of film production and consumption."
