The document discusses several stereotypical representations of Native peoples that have been perpetuated in mass media, including the Noble Indian, Ignoble Indian, Vanishing Indian, Environmental Indian, Bureaucrat's Indian, Performing Indian, Grateful Indian, and textbook Indian. These stereotypes view Native peoples as either noble savages living in harmony with nature or ignoble savages who are enemies of white society and doomed to extinction unless civilized. The stereotypes are still prevalent in textbooks, films, television shows, and other media.

The document discusses the development of the antislavery movement in the United States from the late 1700s to the 1840s. It describes how abolitionist societies formed in the North starting in the 1790s to advocate ending slavery. Abolitionists had both religious and political reasons for opposing slavery, believing slavery violated principles of equality and natural rights. The movement grew more organized over time, with abolitionists using newspapers, speeches, and the Underground Railroad to help slaves escape to freedom. Key figures included Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and William Lloyd Garrison. Disagreements also emerged within the movement over appropriate tactics and the role of political action.

American Dream Week 3 Part 2
The document provides a timeline and overview of the history of slavery in America from 1619 through the end of the Civil War in 1865. It discusses how slavery began as a way to address the labor needs of the colonies, and how the slave trade expanded greatly. The Atlantic slave trade resulted in millions of Africans being forcibly transported to America, where they were treated as property and faced cruel conditions. Resistance to slavery grew over time through escapes on the Underground Railroad and abolitionist literature. After the Civil War, African Americans continued facing exclusion through policies like Plessy v Ferguson and racism during the Great Migration and Harlem Renaissance period.

American Dream Week 3 Part 1
1) Native Americans faced exclusion from the American Dream through the loss of their lands and being forced onto reservations. They were pushed further and further west through acts like the Indian Removal Act of 1830 which led to the tragic Trail of Tears.
2) The Dawes Act of 1887 attempted to assimilate Native Americans by allotting individual family plots of land and educating children in boarding schools, but ultimately resulted in Native Americans losing half their lands.
3) Conflicts between settlers and Native Americans over land continued throughout American history, culminating in events like the Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890, as Native Americans resisted being confined to reservations.
Abolitionists
Abolitionists had various reasons for wanting to end slavery, including seeing it as cruel or wanting economic equality. Works like The Impending Crisis of the South and Uncle Tom's Cabin influenced public opinion by depicting the harms of slavery and led to political divisions between those who wanted to abolish slavery and southern slaveholders. Abolition was a major issue separating the North and South and contributing to the start of the Civil War.

The document outlines some of the key milestones in the recognition of LGBTQ rights in America over the past few decades but notes there is still progress to be made towards full inclusion and equality.

The Imaginary Indian
- 1. The Imaginary Indian: Representations of Native Peoples in Mass Media
- 3. The Noble Indian lives in harmony with Nature and is uncorrupted by the influences of civilization. This Indian thought to be physically healthy ,wise, generous, self sacrificing, courageous, innocent, and doomed to extinction.
- 4. The Ignoble Indian is viewed as a savage, bloodthirsty, untameable enemy of white society. As with the Noble Indian, the Ignoble Indian was viewed as uncivilized and doomed to extinction unless they could be civilized.
- 5. The notion of the Vanishing Indian stems from the idea that Native peoples were destined to disappear in the face of a more advanced civilization.
- 6. The image of the Environmental Indian is a representation of Indians as environmentalists or eco-warriors that are threatened by the forces of a consumer culture and will do anything to protect the land.
- 7. The Bureaucrat’s Indian is the official Indian of government policy, the assimilated Indian. This is the Indian that the government uses to help carry out their agendas.
- 8. The Performing Indian is a type of identity that was often found in Wild West Shows where Indians were seen as savage and bloodthirsty. Many mainstream Native actors could be considered performing Indians in the modern context.
- 9. The Grateful Indian derives from the idea that, because Indians were being offered the "gift" of progress and civilization they should be thankful, not resistant.
- 10. The textbook Indian is a image that is based on a cluster of stereotypical and inaccurate images that are perpetuated in textbooks
