Native Americans are plagued with a plethora of stereotypes. In addition to what could be argued as systematic genocide, Native Americans have had to suffer through an immense amount of bias. These biases, provided and maintained through various media outlets, have led to a significant amount of oppression on Native American people. Ernest Hemingway, an American novelist, displays a myriad of stereotypes of the Native American people in his short story, “Indian Camp”. These stereotypes are…

Media framing and movement protest: The case of American Indian protest study shows the dysfunctions of media attention. The power of the media to shape social events is a fact beyond dispute.

I believe that Charles Russell has both positive and negative influence on American Indian Culture. His paintings have both a good and bad look on American Indian culture. For example he had a positive influence on the indian culture that the indians were happy in his pictures. An example of this is that in his picture “Indian Hunters Return” there are some indian hunters coming back from a hunt and they have tons of meat to feed to their tribe. Everyone in the picture was happy because they…

I am an Indian-American, forever bound to the hyphen. I grew up in the South Side of Jamaica, Queens, a city that was highly diverse, highly progressive, with a high poverty and incarceration rate. I lived with eight of my family members under one roof. My parents and I shared a bed. When I was five, my life changed. We moved to West Islip, Long Island. A town that was 99% Caucasian, and a $110,000 dollar annual-median income, ranked the second-most expensive place to raise kids in the United…
