Film Viewing and Discussion: Reel Injuns

AVIATE Alignment: INTERCULTURALISM

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Students interested in diversity, equity, and inclusion on campus, students interested in developing their intercultural competencies, and students who are interested in learning more about cultural groups outside their own.

Reel Injun, subtitled On the Trail of the Hollywood Indian, explores the portrayal of Native Americans in film. Reel Injun is illustrated with excerpts from classic and contemporary portrayals of Native people in Hollywood movies, as well as featuring interviews with filmmakers, actors, and film historians. It explores various stereotypes about Natives in film, from the Noble savage to the Drunken Indian, and will allow students to see the ways in which these representations directly contribute to contemporary dominant perspectives regarding Native culture.
