Dismantling a Legacy of Misrepresentation with Dr. Melissa Greene-Blye

Dismantling a Legacy of Misrepresentation: Critiquing the Past in Order to Improve the Present - Coverage of American Indian Issues and Identity with Dr. Melissa Greene-Blye Too often, journalists fail to offer authentic representations of Native individuals and issues in the news; this presentation will highlight the ways news media, past and present, have contributed to a legacy of misrepresentation of Native peoples with the goal of highlighting ways to improve that coverage in the future. It is a legacy that has limited the ability of Native individuals to tell their own stories and exercise self-determination in the way they are represented in the press as well as in the historical record. It will ask us to reconsider and redefine what we think we know about what it means to be American Indian, by asking us to reevaluate the history we know and the stories we tell ourselves about the people and events that led us to where we are today.
