Title: Indian Stereotypes in Picture Books
Location: V1080
Description: 1 VHS cassette (25 min.) & teacher's guide
Publisher: Minneapolis, MN: Minneapolis Public Schools, 1990.
Call Number: E98.P99 I53 1990
Summary: No one derogatory picture forms a stereotype, it takes many,
over time. No other group of people in America has been as stereotyped as the
Native American, in books and in movies. Unfortunately, stereotypic images can
stay in a child's mind, sometimes forever, and the damage can be hard to undo.
Picture books are more than entertainment. They are one way we teach our
children. Because visuals in books have enormous power to convey information
and impressions, librarians, teachers, parents, and children themselves should
learn how to recognize stereotypic images. The learning process takes time.
This film and teacher's guide is about that process. The Indian Education
Department and Educational Media Department of Minneapolis Public Schools hopes
this production contributes to an understanding of the process.
