Implementing the Image
Part IV
From: The Imaginary Indian
$2.50
Images have consequences in the real world: ideas have results. The Imaginary Indian does not exist in a void. In their relations with Native people over the years, non-Native Canadians have put the image of the Indian into practice. With an assumption that the Imaginary Indian was real, could government policy be any more realistic than the wildest theories about the Mound Builders.
