Today as in the past there are many cultural and commercial
representations of American Indians that, thoughtlessly or
otherwise, negatively shape the images of indigenous people.
Jolivette and his co-authors challenge and contest these images,
demonstrating how Native representation and identity are at the
heart of Native politics and Native activism. In portrayals of a
Native Barbie Doll or a racist mascot, disrespect of Native women,
misconceptions of mixed race identities, or the commodification of
all things "Indian", the authors reveal how the very existence of
Native people continues to be challenged, with harmful
repercussions in social and legal policy, not just in popular
culture. The authors re-articulate Native history, religion,
identity, and oral and literary traditions in ways that allow the
true identity and persona of the Native person to be recognized and
respected. It is a project that is fundamental to ethnic
revitalization and the recognition of indigenous rights in North
America. This book is a provocative and essential introduction for
students and Native and non-Native people who wish to understand
the images and realities of American Indian lifeways in American
society.
Follows the adventures of Max Axiom as he explains the science
behind ecosystems. Written in graphic-novel format.
