The indigenous people of the North American continent who have variously been called American Indian and more recently Native American represent collectively a rich cultural heritage which began long before Christopher Columbus arrived on the continent in 1492. Far from monolithic, tribal heritage continues into contemporary times both within and without the reservations. Some of the surviving tribes are well known, with names which have become common in popular culture — Cherokee, Mohawk, Hopi, Pueblo and Navajo to name a few. But these represent but a few of the hundreds of tribes in both the United States, Canada, Mexico and Central America.
American Indians, as they were previously known, have long the subject of movies since the early beginnings of Hollywood, in films and roles which have at times perpetuated various stereotypes and at other times presented powerful social commentary through both drama and documentaries. Thus, Silent movies both documented and served to shaped a narrative, sometimes driven by the stereotypes of the day, of the Native Americans. Such classics from the era, include D.W. Griffith’s The Indian Runner’s Romance and The Redman’s View.
Over the years, progress has been made towards authenticity in the depiction of Native peoples. From Buffalo Bill‘s Wild West Parade of the silent film era to Broken Arrow and Walk the Proud Land of the Golden Age of Hollywood and in more recent times, Dances with Wolves and Windtalkers, among others. Video games have been hit and miss, at times perpetuated stereotypes, but as with films, there are now more options.
And, as mentioned, the hugely popular Disney animated classic of the historical character Pocahontas have painted a romantic history and been quite influential upon children who like to dress in the colorful costumes they have seen on screen and in stores. Other legendary figures such as Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse continue to fascinate as the true history is beginning to unfold.
