Honest Injun: Hollywood, History, and the Great White Lie
From Buffalo Bill to Billy Jack, Cher to Sacheen Littlefeather, and F Troop to Elvis, the truth about Native Americans in the media gets heap big scalped. Honest Injun takes a hard look at how the entertainment media in the U.S. has viewed Native Americans since the 1900s.
Meticulously researched, generously illustrated, and powerfully written by a seasoned entertainment journalist, Honest Injun shatters the made-in-Hollywood legends and circles the wagons around the ignorant laws, attitudes, and culture with bracing courage and intelligence.
