Indian Images in Commerce
Images of imaginary Indians have been used in American and European media for years. The various guises of Indians reflect various themes in American life--Respectable (or Rousseau) Indian, the Laughable Indian, the Threatening Indian, the Benevolent (or Thanksgiving) Indian, and the Enigmatic Indian. This set illustrates some American views of ethnic minorities; as such it has relevance not only for anthropology, but also for marketing, American history, and American Studies. By Gregory A. Reinhardt
