This lesson will examine stereotypes in imagery as a means by which non-Native society devalues Native People and their knowledge. By stereotyping Native People, non-Native groups in the West overlook, demean and “hide” the knowledge of Native People, including their Native Feminism and notions of gender equality. Through analysis of images and small-group discussion, stereotypes about Native People in images will be identified and debunked. Finally, students will be led through a large group discussion linking the themes of the class and explaining how stereotypes devalue people and their knowledge. This lays the groundwork for lesson two, which examines Native knowledge about gender and gender equality that non-Native societies overlook.]]>
