  • Analysis Of Standing Soldiers, Kneeling Slaves By Kirk Savage

    This idea closely resembles Kearin’s prime example in her article entitled The Many Lives of Chief Kisco. Kearin uses the statue, colloquially named Chief Kisco, as evidence of how sculpture can be produced for one purpose but come to mean something else entirely. According to Kearin, Chief Kisco was originally “constructed as an emblem of the temperance movement”, but shifted to become “the emblem of a white nativist movement” (48, 42). This example of “a Native American figure as the emissary of an inherently middle-class, Protestant, Euro-American, and overwhelmingly white message” highlights the way that the art form of sculpture has been used to alter one’s meaning to conform to contemporary society’s way of thinking. (49) Savage and Kearin both explored the idea that commemorative sculpture was used as a vessel for Americans to fill with their own notion of what it means to be American, whether white versus black, white versus native americans, or an American who has been in America for

    It is very ironic that “Cherokee” dress in this manner in order to cater to the interests of white tourists, who are expecting to see something reminiscent of old western films. To some, this is a “selling out” of culture and beliefs for money down the road (The). Misrepresenting a culture in this manner is an unacceptable action that perpetuates stereotypes and prolongs misunderstandings with that group. It also indirectly hinders Cherokee attempts at preserving their own

  • Public Procession Of The King Women Essay

    634 Words  | 3 Pages

    The family in “Clothing and Status in Colonial Mexico” portrays a family with a child, labeled as a “wolf”, an African/Indian descendant and an Indian descendant. During that time frame, these races were usually those categorized on the lower end of the social hierarchy. In the procession painting, however, both of what was considered to be the higher and lower races are present. This is one difference in how status is portrayed because in the portrait of the family, there is no direct, side-by-side, comparison to Europeans. On the contrast, the European merchants and officials, placed at tables lavish with food and seated under umbrellas, are put in direct comparison with the African women displaying themselves for the upper-class guests of the

  • Native American Stereotypes

    American Indian culture, characteristics, and history have been utilized in all aspects of society, from names to logos to clothing. Although it originally was meant as a way of honoring American Indian heritage, Native American inspired ideas have turned into discrimination in the past four decades. A Crayola crayon received the name “Indian Red,” and although the name was revoked, the color is still in circulation as well as the memory of the insulting name. Moreover, searching for the right Halloween costume? Try looking for an “Indian” costume that stores have the audacity to sell—complete with a stereotypical headdress, worn traditionally by only the most respected Indians in a tribe, such as chiefs and warriors, and face/war paint.

  • The Noble Or Ignoble Savage: A Cultural Appropriation Of American Culture

    1494 Words  | 6 Pages

    Even though America has become quite the diverse place with diverse cultures, the cultural appropriation found within the American society contributes to the loss of multiple minority culture’s identity. Native Americans are one of the minority groups most heavily impacted by cultural appropriation. From offensive sports, many American Indians feel as though their cultural identities are lost in the mass of stereotypes and false representations of them in popular culture. In literature and film, Indians are too often portrayed as some variation of “the Noble or Ignoble Savage” (Gordon, 30), violent and uneducated, and it is easy to imagine how this negative representation inspires resentment in the Native American community, who have no interest in having their cultures and peoples being reduced to mere savages,

    These embroidered creations feature Native Americans through the obscure and biased glens of Europeans. This is most legible in Jan van der Straet 1575 painting of Amerigo Vespucci’s arrival in America (Document 3). In the painting, a bare Indian is illustrated in a near animal- like state whilst Vespucci is illustrated as a domineering and transcendent figure. Native Americans are also expressed in this oppressive light in Louis Choris’ 1820 drawing of Indians on a boat. (Document 7)

  • Analysis: Coming Of Age In The Dawnland

    975 Words  | 4 Pages

    Science journalist, Charles C. Mann, had successfully achieved his argumentative purpose about the “Coming of Age in the Dawnland.” Mann’s overall purpose of writing this argumentative was to show readers that there’s more to than just being called or being stereotyped as a savage- a cynical being. These beings are stereotyped into being called Indians, or Native Americans (as they are shorthand names), but they would rather be identified by their own tribe name. Charles Mann had talked about only one person in general but others as well without naming them. Mann had talked about an Indian named Tisquantum, but he, himself, does not want to be recognized as one; to be more recognized as the “first and foremost as a citizen of Patuxet,”(Mann 24).
