1912 Moving Pictures: Few of the moving pictures have real Indians, white men with their faces painted and with feather head dresses on impersonating them in many of the moving pictures.

Note: the term "blanket Indian" at this point in history started to change. The implication was that they were still "wild" or "primitive" .

     Oklahoma City, Dec 17 - Several "blanket" Indians will act for the moving pictures that are now being taken by one of the largest moving picture concerns of New York. The pictures are being taken in Pawnee County at the home of Major Gordon Lillie, who is best known as Pawnee Bill. 
     With the company are Miss Florence Lawrence, widely known as an actress for the moving pictures, and Arthur Johnson of New York, whose face is also familiar to thousands who have seen him on the canvas. 
     The company is camping on Major Lillie's ranch and the Indians of that vicinity are being trained to act in the scenes of which moving pictures will be taken. The pictures are intended to be thrillers, the fact that real blanket Indian are appearing in them being unusual. Few of the moving pictures have real Indians, white men with their faces painted and with feather head dresses on impersonating them in many of the moving pictures.

   The Uprising of the Indians, and the sensational massacre of the isolated settlers
   The Saving of an infant from the maelstrom of death [doesn't say what that maelstrom is]
   The Vengeance of the White Men, who exterminate the Indians in a sensational battle.

1927 - "We [first Americans].. ask you while you are teaching school children about America first, teach them the truth about the first Americans.

In 1927, the mayor of Chicago, William H Thompson, launched a campaign to "straighten out the affairs of the schools" in Chicago by urging all textbooks to be 100% accurate and pro-American (as opposed to pro-British, he said.) The tagline for project was themed "America First." Scott H. Peters , Chippewa and president of the Grand Council Fire of American Indians  penned a letter to the mayor, asking that indigenous people be included. On December 1, 1927, the delegation presented Mayor Thompson with the following memorial: To the Mayor of Chicago: You tell all the white men "America First." We believe that. We are the first Americans. We are the only ones truly that are 100 per cent. We, therefore, ask you while you are teaching school children about America first, teach them the truth about the first Americans.              We do not know if the school histories are pro-British, but we do know that they are unjust to the life of our people,

1969 Tumbleweeds comic strip: Not everyone finds stereotyped humor funny

Hates Tumbleweeds 1969 Aug 18 Progress Bulletin  Letter to the Editor: Please can you get rid of that tasteless, humorless Tumbleweeds? At least cut out the degrading stereotype of the Indian. I, for one, think it is bad for children to have "Sadistics Class" presented as though sadism were funny. I don't think drunkeness is funny either, nor suitable entertainment for kids. -- Ruth D. Keran, Pimona.  1969 Aug 18 Progress Bulletin  1967 Feb 25 The Indianapolis News  1968 April 5 The San Bernardino County  Tumbleweeds was an American comic strip that offered a skewed perspective on life in the Old West.

Indian Image Debunked  UNM Festival Attacks Celluloid Stereotype of Native American  By Tom Jacobs 1982 Feb 15, Albuquerque Journal        Phil Lucas was standing in the Seattle airport waiting for his luggage when a little blond boy, perhaps 8 years old, walked up to him.       "Are you an Indian?" the boy asked.       "Yes," Lucas replied.       "Do you have an arrow?"       "No," he said.       "Do you kill people?"       " No," Lucas said. The boy then turned around and walked away.       Lucas paused and shook his head after recounting the story.       "It's still happening today," he said.       Lucas expressed no animosity toward the youngster. After all, virtually everything the child knows about Indians he probably learned from the movies. And everyone knows that, in the movies, Indians kill people.       That stereotype was examined, debated, debunked and deplored last week d
