Because of its ability to present moving images, filmplayed a major role in perpetuating the stereotypes of the Native Americansas riding horses, screaming, killing, and scalping people. Film, like anyother form of art, reflects the culture of the society and at the same time,contributes to that culture; it embodies the society's values, beliefs, andsocial structure and assists in transmitting culture to mass audiences. Mythsand stereotypes about Native Americans are alive today because television andfilm, as media with mass appeal, perpetuated misconceptions. Therepresentation of Native Americans in films was mostly restricted to onegenre, the Western. As a type of American mythology, the Western profited onthe myths which it perpetuated. A Senate subcommittee in 1969 conducted asurvey which found that white society characterized Native Americans as lazy,drunken, and dirty, which was concluded to be based on a history created bythe white man to justify his exploitation of the Native American. In order torestore the Native American's image, the myths and stereotypes on whichAmerica was built need to be confronted.

The White Man's Indian: Stereotypes In Film And Beyondby Charalambos VrasidasAbstractThe image of Native Americans had been established long before film was invented, andwith a few exceptions, it has remained the same since then. Film, because of its visual natureand mass appeal, played a major role in perpetuating the misconceptions about the Natives.Some of the most popular images were the bad Indian, the good Indian and the noblesavage.One of the methods that white society employed in an effort to isolate the Native Americansand make them a weak minority in their own homeland, was stereotyping. Stereotypes werecreated for three main reasons: (a) to confirm the superiority of Western civilization, (b) toperpetuate the myths on which the American nation was built, and (c) to offer entertainmentthrough literature, art, and film. Stereotypes Were very entertaining, and therefore, profitable.Coming to AmericaPearce (1967) put it, "Americans wereWhen the first Europeans came tocoming to understand the Indian as oneAmerica they found a rich continent with alot of resources. Here they wanted to createa society similar to that in their countries inEurope. The only obstacle to their planswas the indigenous people. In the view ofthe European settlers the Native Americanswere hindering progress (Pearce, 1967).The Whites tried to civilize them and makeradically different from their proper selves;they knew he was bound inextricably in aprimitive past, a primitive society, and aprimitive environment, to be destroyed byGod, Nature, and Progress to make way forthe Civilized Man" (p. 4).them conform to the Whites' culture andInvention of FilmLippmann (1961) defined stereotypes as"pictures in our heads" (p. 3). Before wesee and experience the world, we take fromsociety pre-defined images of the world inthe form of stereotypes.Stereotypes,according to Marger (1994), are erroneous,overgeneralized images of groups of peoplewhich serve as the basis for severalImages and Stereotypes Before thevalues. Whites tried to educate the Natives,change their religion, and steal their land.Efforts to civilize the Natives were notsuccessful. Therefore, the only way forwhite society to solve its Native Americanproblem was to destroy the Natives(Berkhofer, 1978; Deloria, 1989; Pearce,1967).It was alright for Europeans tobecome savages in order to save civilization;a white civilization that was opposed to theNatives values and beliefs.prejudices.In multi-ethnic societies,stereotyping is one of the techniquesemployed by the dominant group in orderto maintain its dominance over subordinateThe differences between Western andNative American civilizations played asignificant role in the evolution of therelationship between the Whites and theindigenous people. "Indianness"andcivilization were, according to the Whites,two concepts opposed to each othergroups.Lippmannmystery, rather than on abstract scientificknowledge. As Deloria (1989) stated, "thecontinue to feel ourselves safe in thehemisphere produced wisdom;Europe produced knowledge"(p. 11).

Stereotyping and the creationof myths was an approach employed bywhite society for justifying the stealing ofland from the Natives.Slotkin (1973) arguedthatthat the Natives were gradually becomingextinct (Barnett, 1975). The image of thebad Indian and the noble savage wereusually in coexistence.Churchill et al. (1978) identified threemajor themes under which stereotyping ofNative Americans can be categorized. Thefirst theme was, "the Native as a creature ofa particular time," mainly between 1800 and1880 (p. 47). This meant that thousands ofyears of history and civilization wereusually compressed to under a singlecentury. This period was a time duringwhich -the Natives were fighting for theirlives and their land. For the Whites, this"printedliterature has been from the first the mostimportant vehicle of myth in America"(p. 19). Themes of Whites fighting againstusuallyanddevils"the"redoutperforming them were essential forconfirming the superiority of whitecivilization. In fiction, Native American'sinferiority and savagery were constantlyjuxtaposed to the white man's " and prevailed over the NativeAmericans.According to Barnett (1975),period was a time of their victory oversavagery; it was the time of victory ofCottonWestern over Native American civilizations.Mather's (1699) Decennium Luctuosum isan example of early American fiction inwhich Native Americans are misrepresentedand stereotyped.

This new identitywas the same for all the Natives regardlessof their tribal origin.examples from fiction come from JamesFenimore Cooper's The Leather StockingTales and included The Deers layer (1841),The Last of the Mohicans (1826), and ThePrairie (1827) (Pearce, 1967).The third theme was "Seen one Indian,seen 'm all" (Churchill et al., 1978, p. 47).North America contained more than 600different Native American societies whichwere speaking over two hundred differentThere were a number of stereotypicalcharacteristics depicted in works of fictionwhich Barnett (1975) called "red gifts"(p. 75). The body build, physical strength,height, excellent hunting and fighting skills,and the heavy accent were some of thosecharacteristics. In addition to these "gifts",Barnett (1975) and Berkhofer (1978)identified three major kinds of stereotypes.These were the bad Indian, the noblesavage, and the good Indian.The bad Indian wasvengeful, and immoral.Indians were abundanthostile,Usually, good were thoseNatives that gave up their culture andAmericans as objects of entertainment.

The complexrelationship between film and culture isexplained by Belton (1996) who stated thatthemyths onhelpedtoreinforcethe indigenous people. The frontier inWesterns was usually a place where anadvancing Europeanwould be justified without questioning themoral values of society (Cawelti, 1974). Asa product of nostalgia, the Western led theviewers in constructing an imaginarycivilization that attempted to replace thosecivilizations that were already in existence.The creation of a mythological Westjustified the seizure of land and thegenocide of the Natives. This inevitably ledto the formation of a new view of historynarrowconception of American life to which allgroups were expected to conform" (p. xi).Film was a major force in creating the idealimage of what an American should be.Film industry dictated how Americansshould behave, what they should believe in,and what they should look like.Many scholars pointed out that people'sperception of history are shaped to a greatwhich was mainly based on myths.The Western was a type of Americanextend by images presented in film andtelevision (Vidal, 1992; Seixas, 1994).civilization clashedIt provided a settingwhere the enjoyment of violent conflictwith "savagery."which theaFilm was, and still is, a very profitablebusiness, and like in any other business, themajor driving force is money. Stereotypeswere very entertaining, and as such, movieswith stereotypical characters were well likedamong the masses. Therefore, films withstereotypical themes were watched by bigaudiences, and consequently, were veryprofitable. Stereotypes were attached toseveral minority groups including AfricanLatinos,Asian-Americans,Americans,women, and Native-Americans.it was reasonable enough tostereotype Indians. Spears (1959) arguedthat the Western is a type of film that targetschiefly juvenile and unsophisticated minds.Hence, "it is natural that a stereotypedvillain should have been the majorrepresentation of the Indian" (p. 18).When the settlers began moving West, oneof the major obstacles they confronted wereAmerican nation was built.

was the need to control this wilderness andget rid of the indigenous people.In his book The American West in Film.Critical Approaches to the Western, Tuska(1985) identified seven basic plots aroundwhich the Western developed. One of theseplots was the 'Indian story." According tothis plot, "an Indian, an Indian tribe, orseveral Indian nations are either theprincipal focus of the story or the principalmotivation of the actions of other charactersGenerally the law ofthe story.miscegenation has applied, so while a whiteinman might marry an Indian woman, shecomes to die in the course of the story.Rarely . an Indian woman might live andride off with the hero; and even more rarelya white woman might choose to live with anIndian male and survive the end of thepicture" (p. 31).An example of the above plot is themovie The Searchers (1956) which wasbased on Robert Montgomery Bird's NickAfterof the Woods, written inspending five years with a Native Americanchief, the white woman is "rescued" and the1837.chief is killed.Very powerful was thebuilding and perpetuating the stereotypesof Native Americans. D.W. Griffith, who isregarded as one of the first greatest filmdirectors, shot many films in which IndiansOccasionally,weretheprotagonists.individual Natives were depicted as "good"but the group was always presented as"evil." Bataille and Silet, (1980) cited TheRedman and the Child (1908), Ramona(1910), and The Battle at Elderberry Gulch(1913) as examples of such films.Very rarely did filmmakers use realNative Americans in their work. Becausethe Native Americans were the "savages,"they have often been portrayed by stars ofhorror films like Bela Lugosi and Lonal.,et1978).(ChurchillChaneyOccasionally, when real Natives appeared infilms, they were mainly used as props tohelp create the appropriate atmosphere.Examples of the few successful NativeAmerican actors are Willie Rogers, ChiefDan George, Willie Sampson, and GrahamGreene.Aleiss (1991) argued that one of the fewfilms ever made about Native Americanswhich depicted them sympathetically was(1925).AmericanVanishingAlthough a silent film, The Vanishingdilemma that the Whites were facing before'rescuing the white woman. Should she alsodie? After all, she lived with the savage forfive whole years. Can she still be white?Questions of this nature were prevalent inmany other Westerns.The period during which most of Westernplots take place, was from 1860 to 1890,TheAmericans had been either killed or placedon reservations. The Western genre was oneof the most favorable among the massesand served as an everlasting source ofdepiction of the misguided reservationsystem as in its ability to reveal thefrustration of a society unable to resolve itsIndian Problem" (p. 468).From the time of WWI and on, thenative's image became very popular in film,Brief Historical Overview of Imagesand for the next thirty years it remainedbecause by 1890 most of the Nativemyths on which a whole nation was built.of Native Americans in FilmFrom the beginning of film history, therewas already a large pre-existing body ofimages and stereotypes attached to theNative Americans. Filmmakers drew theirmaterial from the stereotypes that existed inpopular culture. Native Americans appearedon the screen with the very beginning offilm history. According to Bataille andSilet (1980), short films such as SiouxGhost Dance (1894) and the Parade ofBuffalo Bill's Wild West Show (1898) wereshown by Edison's coin-operated machines.Great early American directors like D.W.Griffith, played a significant role inBEST COPY AVAILABLEAmerican is one of the film industry's mostpowerful depictions on white society'sexploitation of Native Americans.

Film images represented theNative American often as lazy, savage,drunken, heathen, usually male, with nospecific tribal characteristics and with nofamily relationships (Bataille & Silet, 1980;Berkhofer, 1978). There was a seriousreason for why most of the times the NativeAmerican in the movies was male. AsDeloria (1989) argued, Native Americanmales have "too much of the aura of thesavage warrior, the unknown primitive, theinstinctive animal" (p. 3). This associationof male Natives with savagism was veryconvenient for the Whites. It allowed theNative American's hostility towards Whites

In the movie Duel in Diablo (1966),to be explained in terms of the Natives'directed by Ralph Nelson, the savagery ofthe Natives is also punished. One of themain ideas portrayed in the film was thatthere is nothing that can change the NativeAmericans from being savage. Therefore,animal instincts and only rarely in terms ofa reaction to the white man's exploitation ofthe Natives.Between 1951 and 1970 at least 86 NativeAmerican-Vs-U.S. cavalry films wereproduced and all of them were based onthey have to bemovieBefore the 1970s, there were only fewfilms that treated Native Americans in asympathetic way.

Very rarely,were the issues of treaties dealt with by thefilm industry in a way that would shed lighton U.S. government's dishonesty.The violence depicted in the Western wasa great selling point. War themes evolvedApache Chief and an ex-army officer whowere trying to bring peace among theNatives and the settlers.

Consequently, duringthis period the number of movies about(p. 31).During the late 1960s and early 1970sthere was an obvious change in the politicaland social situation in the U.S. mainly dueto the Civil Rights movement and to thecountry's intervention in Vietnam. This wasa period of awakenings in Americansociety. The genocide in Vietnam resultedin the reconsideration of the Natives'genocide on U.S. soil. Films like Tell ThemNative Americans declined.One of the most anti-Indian films evermade was John Ford's The Searchers(1956). The plot centers around the searchfor a little girl that was taken byCommanches, after they murdered herfamily. Ford portrayed the insanity thatresulted from being captured by the NativesWillie Boy is Here (1969), A Man CalledHorse (1970), Little Big Man (1970), andSoldier Blue (1970), indicated this shift ofattitudes towards the Native Americans.Still, all these films have done very little inbreaking the stereotypes and restoring theNatives' image.Arthur Penn's Little Big Man (1970) alsoreceived some good reviews in regards toof Nativefilm's representationtheAmericans. Chief Dan George, a NativeAmerican actor, rises to an important figurein the film. The killing of Custer and hisand he deliberately justified the killing ofNatives. Actor Jeff Hunter played the roleof Martin, the "half-breed" cousin ofDebbie who was kidnapped. Martin, alongwith Debbie's uncle Ethan, played by JohnWayne, spent most of the time in the filmtrying to rescue Debbie. In a very powerfulscene, the hatred towards Native Americansis expressed by Ethan, who shoots a deadNative in both eyes. He then said that theCommanche warrior "will have to wandertroops is presented as a justified revenge forthe atrocities the U.S. Cavalry hadforever between the winds" and he willrepeatedly committed against the Natives.George Armstrong Custer is presented as an"insane maniac".

This does not mean that theyare authentic. Commenting on Dances withWolves, Seals (1991) argued that the filmpresented Native Americans as being "verypoetic and nature-loving" (p. 634).Furthermore, he pointed out that the men inthe film "speak Lakota in the feminineform," and this because the screenplay "wastranslated by a woman, who also served asthe primary linguistic coach" (p. 637).The documentary film Incident at Oglala(1991), and the feature Thunderheartwatches them getting killed because of the"crimes" theysince they did not want to identify withNatives because most of the times they werethe losers (p. 49).John Ford's The Searchers (1956) wasused in a study conducted by Shively(1992).
