Title: Article: Made in America, With Subtitles
Body: From http://www.californiachronicle.com/articles/yb/134407129 The hundreds of "squaw" and "How!" films were obviously demeaning, painting scores of tribes with the same broad brush of stereotype. However, even well-intentioned films like 1925's The Vanishing American treat Native peoples as "emblematic of the past, rather than as viable participants in the world of the present," as Peter Rollins puts it in his 1998 book Hollywood's Indian: The Portrayal of the Native American in Film. This remains a problem, and it is related to portrayals of Native languages. "What we see today, in contrast, is that there is a lot of inclusion of language, and they try to make it correct," said Inee Slaughter, executive director of the Indigenous Languages Institute at the Santa Fe Indian School. "There's certainly an effort now which wasn't there in the past, and that's encouraging. On many films now, I understand they do have language and culture advisers."
