Redmond Historical Society Speaker Series: American Indians in Cinema - Portrayals & Participation

Almost a quarter of all films made from 1900 to 1950 were Westerns, which frequently represented American Indians as violent obstacles to progress.  Through film clips and conversation, Rhoades will address the role cinema has played in producing and perpetuating perceptions of the American
Indian and its lingering implications. Rhoades is director of film studies at the Seattle Film Institute and has taught at the University of Washington and guest lectured at MIT.
