Perceptions of Native Americans are often shaped by sports mascots,
advertisements and characters on TV and in the movies — think of Pocahontas, Tonto from
the Lone Ranger and
the animated warriors who appeared in Hanna-Barbera cartoons. These
misrepresentations are harmful and ignore the diversity of indigenous
people and their rich cultures and heritages.
In honor of Native American Heritage Month, this month’s Standing in Solidarity
program is about Native American identity and how best to preserve and share
that identity. Our PSEG
True Diversity Film Series selection is Reel Injun, a
documentary about the depictions of Native Americans in Hollywood films.
How to
participate:
- Register here.
- Watch Reel Injun for free at home.
- Join us for a virtual conversation on Mon, Nov 27,
at 7PM.
Our
panel will be moderated by Tasia
Martinez, a Dine’ woman and Equity Success Coordinator for
the Grants Cibola County school district in Grants, New Mexico.
