Looney Tunes and Peter Pan
The article Looney Tunes and Peter Pan written by Linda Christensen shows that “Children don’t pop out of the womb drawing Native Americans with feathers ad hook noses and coloring them red, but if you ask most students to draw or write down their images of Native Americans, their depictions will be shockingly similar” (Christensen 133).
