Honor
and Prejudice: Perspectives of the Native Americans World
Introducing
Bittersweet Winds, our exhibit that is destined to become a museum on
the history, for better and for worse, of the image of Native Peoples
in America. This exhibit contains many images that reflect the propaganda
that permeated this country in order to maintain various negative attitudes
towards Native Americans. However, the exhibit is balanced with accurate
portrayals both historical and present day. How does Chief Wahoo really
honor the images of the proud people of the past? How does the team
name Redskins honor the people today? How was your image of Native Peoples
influenced by the propaganda? And how can one tell the difference? Come
and see for yourself.
At
present we are booking exhibitions throughout the Midwest and expect
to bring the show to the east coast in the spring. If you are interested
in hosting this exhibit at your school, your gallery, or anywhere within
your community, please contact Richie
Plass at richieplass@yahoo.com.
If you don’t see a show listed in your area, contact us for a complete
schedule.
