https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j For your post, make the title your name. In the post itself, review some of the common stereotypes/misconceptions of American Indians illustrated here: https://americanindian.si.edu/nk360/faq/did-you-know (Links to an external site.) Briefly reflect and respond the following questions: Which of these stereotypes may I have unknowingly believed in? How have your opinions about them been formed? From what sources? Are your views fair, complete, accurate? Why or why not? en-us 2021-09-13 15:08:22 UTC 2021-09-20 16:02:58 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1739457362 Some common stereotypes that I unknown fully believed in is that Native Americans live on their own disconnected from us. I assume this from articles about Native reservation land on the news. My views are not accurate because there are people who are Native who live all over the US and live normal lives like the rest of us.]]> 2021-09-14 13:34:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1739457362 https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1739458210 I always ran into the problem of not knowing what to call Native Americans when put in the situation. I now understand that there are many terms that are acceptable, but that it is preferred to be called by their tribe name. It never occured to me that there are so many different tribes that I should be aware of. ]]> 2021-09-14 13:34:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1739458210 https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1739458355 To me, I unknowingly believed in all Native American's lived tipis, due to shows and movies that have portrayed Native Americans. Yes, at some point Native Americans lived in tipis, but not all. Native Americans can live in any type of housing.]]> 2021-09-14 13:34:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1739458355 bro2101 https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1739458480 One stereotype I have unknowingly believed in is that most American Indians live in tipis. My opinions were formed from being taught about this in grade school and from movies. My views are not accurate because most American Indians live in apartments or houses, even though the traditional American Indian house is a tipi. ]]> 2021-09-14 13:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1739458480 https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1739458555 I thought that native Americans had dark red skin up until 5th grade or so. I feel like they have formed due to the cartoony portrayal of them. Obviously, this view was inaccurate and totally wasn't fair because it is just grouping a bunch of people in to a portrayal of them in my head.]]> 2021-09-14 13:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1739458555 https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1739458959 I may have unknowingly believed in certain things said because I wasn't educated much on American Indians. I most likely learned these things from tv shows, movies, or books that I have watched and read as a child. ]]> 2021-09-14 13:35:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1739458959 https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1739458987 All terminology is acceptable but native people prefer to be called by their specific tribal name.

My opinions were formed by TV and cartoons, but that's all they are and I never really held on to any of those thoughts. My views aren't accurate at all because I never really looked up or researched about them.

My opinion was formed a long time ago when I started to learn about American Indians. This view is not really that fair seeming that most American Indians live like normal people. ]]> 2021-09-20 15:58:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1754538227 https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1754538583 One stereotype I unknowingly believed was Natives living in tipis.

I also did not know that Native Americans paid taxes because I always assumed they didn't live in actual houses or even have jobs.]]> 2021-09-20 15:58:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1754538707 https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1754539258 I have always been confused about whether or not Native Americans had to pay taxes. I thought that they had to pay taxes but not as much as others. Now I have found out that it is only certain tribes and in certain areas where you have to pay taxes. ]]> 2021-09-20 15:59:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1754539258 https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1754539596 My only exposure to Indians when I was young were movies and tv.

I did not realize this was un true until the 4th grade. This is a great example of how stereotypes impact the younger generation, and if we are not careful about what we portray, these false stereotypes could become more wide spread. ]]> 2021-09-20 15:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1754540845 https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1754541502 One stereotype that I had about American Indians was that they always wore animal fur and feather headbands.

My expectations were shaped by these films and I came to only see indigenous peoples as flat, cartoonish, and, literally, two dimensional. I wasn't exposed to more rich presentations of Native life until my Indigenous Film class in college.]]> 2021-09-20 16:00:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1754542029 https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1754542363 Andrew Zecman-
One common misconception is that they do not pay taxes this is something that i have thought as-well over years and i never thought they live in homes as bas as this sounds these are things that m any people think of when Native Americans are talked about.]]> 2021-09-20 16:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1754542363 https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1754542936 i always thought that the native American population was very low, around a couple hundred thousand, but there numbers as a whole are actually around 5.2 million people. i also thought that they always wore fur items for clothing but in fact they harvested cotton for basic tunics and pants.]]> 2021-09-20 16:00:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1754542936 fou0102 https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1754546933 A stereotype I have unknowingly believed in was that all Indians live in tipis. I formed this belief most likely from my old history classes where there were pictures of Indians living in tipis and we learned that that was what they lived in in earlier times but I just believed they still lived in them because I didn't know what to think. My views are not accurate but they were based off of some events in history.]]> 2021-09-20 16:01:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1754546933 https://padlet.com/ecorwin5_2/sshy3exui821r07j/wish/1754550859 When I am asked about Native Americans my knowledge is very little. As a young kid I was taught in history class that native Americans lived in tipis and were red skinned. I was told they used fire signals and were just very down to earth. My assumptions were wrong and not everything I was told was all true or may have been true a very long time ago
