Description
Notes: From the We are Part of the Earth Exhibition, curated by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith at Centro Cultural de la Raza (April 6-May 20, 1990). This installation is set-up like a classroom. A television, equipped with an antennae made from antlers, is showing a videotape taken in front of "Angel's Authentic Indian Jewelry and Leather Gift Shop." A man is standing next to a carved wooden Indian. The words: "Great White Fathers" are centered below the television and an American eagle is above it. American presidents form a border near the top of the wall. A list of the words used by American society to describe Native Americans draws attention to the stereotypes used to rationalize the exploitation of indigenous peoples.
