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.
