The new book examines the history and heritage of Native American actors and filmmakers.
Seventeen years after the publication of Making the White Man’s Indian: Native Americans and Hollywood Movies, her acclaimed study of how Hollywood established and perpetuated stereotypical depictions of Indigenous people, author Angela Aleiss has followed up with Hollywood’s Native Americans: Stories of Identity and Resistance, an illuminating and enthralling account of ways Native American actors helped shape their own movie images since earliest days of silent cinema.
We recently spoke with Aleiss about her book, which is now available through Amazon and other outlets.
