Even as their nations and cultures were being destroyed by colonial
expansion across the continent, American Indians became a form of
entertainment, sometimes dangerous and violent, sometimes primitive
and noble. Creating a fictional wild west, entrepreneurs then
exported it around the world. Exhibitions by George Catlin,
paintings by Charles King, and Wild West shows by Buffalo Bill Cody
were viewed by millions worldwide. Norman Denzin uses a series of
performance pieces with historical, contemporary, and fictitious
characters to provide a cultural critique of how this version of
Indians, one that existed only in the western imagination, was
commodified and sold to a global audience. He then calls for a
rewriting of the history of the American west, one devoid of
minstrelsy and racist pageantry, and honoring the contemporary
cultural and artistic visions of people whose ancestors were
shattered by American expansionism.
