Appropriating the Image
Part III
From: The Imaginary Indian, 1st Edition
$0.48
Citing the example of General Motors and their Pontiac cars produced since 1925, the author explains the final stage in the creation of the Imaginary Indian. Not only are Indian images used to represent what non-Natives think about Indians, they are appropriated by non-Natives as meaningful symbols of their own culture.Citing the example of General Motors and their Pontiac cars produced since 1925, the author explains the final stage in the creation of the Imaginary Indian.
