A Daily Riot.

Colleagues have often asked me why I am so passionate when it comes to the stereotypical depictions of “Indians” in movies and on TV, and especially in science fiction, since I am, like sever participants in the study, a fan of the [science fiction] genre. It is after all, as my colleagues are quick to point out, fiction. Unfortunately, movie and TV fiction have become accepted as Americas facts (and the world’s for that matter) when it comes to “Indians.” My response is that I am so passionate because these careless and universally accepted stereotypes do damage. Negative “Indian” stereotypes do physical, mental, emotional, and financial harm to First Nations individuals.
