How to play Indian

This Handout was hilarious yet so true everything I read is what we make Indians out to be in movies. Like " Make your presence known by giving the coyote cry" In all movies about Indians before they attack you hear the war cry. When reading this I felt like I was reading a how to be a "Movie Indian" as William Weaver puts it. Yet this is not how I see Indians. Indians are great hunters so how can they ever have a successful hunt if they go around yelling all the time. Indians live off the land they are smart not savages that go around killing everything and everyone in site.

  2. I agree!! Does Hollywood really think Indians didn't know how to keep their presence a secret??
