At once informative, comic, and plaintive, Seeing Red—Hollywood’s Pixeled Skins is an anthology of critical reviews that reexamines the ways in which American Indians have traditionally been portrayed in film. From George B. Seitz’s 1925 The Vanishing American to Rick Schroder’s 2004 Black Cloud, these 36 reviews by prominent scholars of American Indian Studies are accessible, personal, intimate, and oftentimes autobiographic. Seeing Red—Hollywood’s Pixeled Skins offers indispensible perspectives from American Indian cultures to foreground the dramatic, frequently ridiculous difference between the experiences of Native peoples and their depiction in film. By pointing out and poking fun at the dominant ideologies and perpetuation of stereotypes of Native Americans in Hollywood, the book gives readers the ability to recognize both good filmmaking and the dangers of misrepresenting aboriginal peoples. The anthology offers a method to historicize and contextualize cinematic representations spanning the blatantly racist, to the well-intentioned, to more recent independent productions. Seeing Red is a unique collaboration by scholars in American Indian Studies that draws on the stereotypical representations of the past to suggest ways of seeing American Indians and indigenous peoples more clearly in the twenty-first century.

Capturing military men in contemplation rather than combat, Sherry Smith reveals American army officers' views about the Indians against whom they fought in the last half of the nineteenth century. She demonstrates that these officers--and their wives--did not share a monolithic, negative view of their enemies, but instead often developed a great respect for Indians and their cultures. Some officers even came to question Indian policy, expressed misgivings about their personal involvement in the Indian Wars, and openly sympathized with their foe. The book reviews the period 1848-1890--from the acquisition of the Mexican Cession to the Battle of Wounded Knee--and encompasses the entire trans-Mississippi West. Resting primarily on personal documents drawn from a representative sample of the officer corps at all levels, the study seeks to juxtapose the opinions of high-ranking officers with those of officers of lesser prominence, who were perhaps less inclined to express personal opinions in official reports. No educated segment of American society had more prolonged contact with Indians than did army officers and their wives, yet not until now has such an overview of their attitudes been presented. Smith's work demolishes the stereotype of the Indian-hating officer and broadens our understanding of the role of the army in the American West.

Not illustrated. 1828 edition. Excerpt: ... which lies under the lower joint of the thigh, but always throw it away." Other persons have said they throw it into the fire. "They have been often heard to utter distinctly the word Hallelujah in singing; and at the return of their hunting party they make a feast of which nothing must be left, but all consumed, or entirely disposed of before the next morning; as in the passover of the Israelites; and if any family cannot accomplish the prescribed command, they call in the assistance of their neighbours; as was practised in Canaan when a family was not large enough to consume the paschal lamb." " The American Indians, especially the Cherokees and Choktaws, have in their places of worship, as they call them, the beloved squares, a very humble resemblance of the Cherubim which overshadowed the mercy-seat. Adair saw in one of these squares, two white painted eagles, carved out of poplar wood, with the wings stretched out, standing in a corner five feet from the ground, close to the red and white imperial seats, and within were painted with a white clay the figure of a man, with buffalo's horns, expressive of power, and that of a panther, which is the nearest of the animals of America to a lion. Compare Ex. 37. 9. Ezekiel chap. 10. Each of the Cherubims, according to the prophet, had the head and face of a man, the likeness of an eagle about the shoulders, with expanded wings, the neck, mane and breast of a lion, and the feet of an ox: See Ezekiel, 1. 5. In these squares they dance on the winter nights, singing Hallelujah; also j'o, he, wah: but never discover any signs of adoration of these figures." When the Israelites encamped we learn of them, that they were usually arranged into four divisions, under four different standards, namely, ...

On its broadest level, this book contributes to an ongoing expansion of both the history of religions and Buddhist studies by focusing on what is a far too frequently ignored aspect of religious experience: visual images. This is a study that is intended to speak to, and be relevant for, not only those interested specifically in Buddhism, but also scholars and students in the field of religion at large who are interested in the dialectical ways abstract, abstruse and even rarified textual discourses interact with devotional practices 'on the ground'. The specific focus of this book is on the Buddhist visual practices surrounding the visual representation of a single, central concept, prajna, or wisdom, in medieval north India. Prajna, however, was not only an intellectual state and spiritual goal to which to aspire. Rather, wisdom also becomes a quality to be visually represented and ritually responded to, and even an active presence to be venerated in much the same manner as the Buddha himself. This book explores the ways in which the production and use of artistic images involving prajna constituted a central, if not the central, component of Buddhist religious practice in Medieval India.
