Because after all, we have been taught that the pilgrims that squanto taught them to warn them of had a good crop that first year. In exchange 21 they wanted to have a big cities to celebrate and to give thanks and play a little folk all. And that is how all of this began. Our modern understanding of thanksgiving is very much a 20th century invention. It was not a holiday that was marked throughout the first 300 years of europeans being permanently settled in the new world. But now it is entered American Mythology as true and squanto as a central part of the myth. What is not so much a part of our understanding of this. Was king philips war which followed about 40 years after the arrival of the pilgrims was an absolutely devastating war between the english and the dutch and it was ferocious probably the greatest percentage of the population of all of these peoples was killed, more than in any other american conflict. So it was ....
You from time to time so i can see which slide we are on. I am at the National Museum of the American Indian. One of the things that interest us greatly is the persistence of stereotypes. Our visitors dont come as blank slates, they come with a preconceived set of ideas, not uninformed but misinformed. As you can see, just a couple of years ago at the vatican. This is a man there at the vatican celebrating as she understands native american culture. This is one of those examples where we can hardly alter at fault. She does not know any better because this is what she has been taught. This entire notion of Cultural Appropriation and taking from native people of their authority to define who they are emerged at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. This is part of the imagery that laid the ground ....
And so, that is lie. The other lie is that one star deets himself was an indian. He was convicted of fraud for pretending to be an indian because he was trying to dodge the draft. Yet, the team maintains on its website that is the origin of the name. Similarly, this team has an origin myth. They say it was a fellow named henry who was a baseball player for the team. They say they named their team and order to honor him. If you really begin to dig into that history, what we find is henry was treated incredibly badly by the fans. Second, he was not that good. He was not the kind of guy you would name your team for. He was not bad, but he was not that good. Third, he was not a very nice guy. All of this sort of suggests that they made that up. This is part of what goes on when dealing with indians and in the public discourse. Things get made up and indians become very malleable and they are formed in order to fill whatever particular role the institution or entity or state or country need ....
Sure people understand basic propositions. Even bart simpson gets it. Now i would like to get to this idea of American Mythology and the imaginary indian. We are deeply in the american dna. Every major american myth, major american origin story has to account for the indians in sunlight. Here we see columbus arriving in the new world looking remarkably fresh. But hiding in the righthand corner are the indians who were there when columbus arrived. We want to get into this business of the Columbian Exchange. Indians have not only then he raised from American History they have any raised from World History not only have the indians then he raced erased from American History, they have been erased from < ....
