ReplyDeletea) How many films were made portraying Indians as blood thirsty savages?
ReplyDeleteMore than 4,000 movies.
b) What does the actor Russell Means tell us about his childhood?
Him and his brother where the only Indians in their school. It was hard to be who they were.
c) What does professor Peter C. Rollins tell us about why and for whom movies are made?
White audiences. Made to make money.
Your answer for b) is like Part-Time Indian because Junior is the only Indian in his school.
Deleteb) Him and his brother where the only Indians in their school. It was hard to be who they were.
DeleteI think this connects to Part-Time Indian because Junior is the only Indian at his school, and probably felt the same as these people.
Philip
DeleteI do agree with Philip and Marissa but only in some ways, because Junior went to the White Kids School , and that is not his school it would be the White Kids school.But I do agree with their answers.
4000 films. He said that the movies showed us that the Indians were savages and they had to fight their way out of the theaters. They were made to show white mans history.
ReplyDeleteThis video related to the video because the lady was talking about the reservations. Also the white people in the books till don't like the Indians just like in the
DeleteYour responce is connected to part time indian because no matter how wimpy JR is he is looked on as a savage and he is looked at like he could kill anyone that fights him
Deletea. More than 4 thousand movies had portrayed Indians as blood thirsty savages.
ReplyDeleteb. The actor Russel Means tells us that in his childhood they had to fight their way out.
c. Professor Peter C. Rollins tells us that the movies were only made to show the white man's history and were not accurate.
e.The portrayal of Indians were unrealistically negative. Hollywood made Native Americans look completely awful, poor, and the "villans" of the movies. It made them look like complete savages but in reality they suffered the most .
E is just like in our book Part-time Indian. He's poor and we all know he suffers a lot. Junior and his family have mostly a negative reputation but Junior is changing that everyday at school! :-)
DeleteB.) This connects to junior because he would have to do the same thing if he went to a movie theater. If he didn't he would definitely get beat up or even killed.
DeleteThere were over 4,000 movies made portraying Indians as blood thirsty savages. Russell Means that they had to fight there way out. Professor Peter C. Rollins told us that these movies are made for whites just to make money and "tell some history". The movie "Tomahawk Trail" talks about how indians are savages and how they were threatened by us. This movie is made to be the opposite of history so no it's not historically correct.

DeleteThis is similar to "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" because of what Russel Means said. This is because Junior gets made fun of all the time and has to fight through his days at school. Just like how Russell Means said that he had to fight his way out of the theater after watching the movies with Indians in them.
DeleteThis can relate to the book because Junior has all these rumors spread about him that is not historically correct like how the movies make it.
DeleteIt's true when there's over four thousand movies portraying natives as savages. Even modern movies, such as The Lone Ranger, show the Cherokee as a savage tribe even though they weren't. Disney's Pocahontas is a little more accurate on the basis that Indians didn't charge war after white people, though it is still an animated movie.
DeleteI agree with you that the people in the book might think of idians as less civilized or savages because of the movies that stereotype them
DeleteMore than 4,000 movies made in the last one hundred years. Russell Means tell us that they had to fight their way out of the theater when he and is family went to see one of these kinds of movies. Professor Peter C. Rollins tells us that white people make these movies because the white audience pay for these movies and think its the history. The movie was not historically correct, it was basically the opposite, the white people were the bad guys not the Indians. Hollywood basically told us that Indians were blood thirsty savages through these movies.
ReplyDeleteThe thing you can connect to Part Time Indian would be that everyone say them as savages and they all might be. I thought about when Junior went to Reardan and beat up the bully in the school.
Deleteover 4000 western portrayed Indians as savages.
ReplyDeleteThat he would have to fight his way out of the movie theater's.
Tomahawk trail is about how Indians were blood thirst savages and the white man was over run by them and that they would kill there wife and children.
A) Over 40,000 movies were made portraying Indians as blood thirsty savages.
ReplyDeleteB) Russell Means tells us that when he would go to the movies him and his friends would have to fight their way out of the theater after watching the movies.

3: The movies are made for white people, to make money and show the white man history while disregarding the Indian's.
DeleteIn Part Time Indian, the Indians are also disregarded. However, the difference is, is that they're disregarded as stupid and not worth it. In the movies back than, they were disregarded as savages who shouldn't have been living in the same area as them, who belonged in a 'res'.
