Calling all parents with access to a scanner ( for college assignment)
Hello,
I am currently taking a Canadian First Nations' Concerns course. And for my last essay I am writing about how the popular images of "Indianess"are reflected through children's drawings. The main article that I am basing my essay on studies just this topic, but it was done in 1978. Iam interested in finding out if the images (found in the 1978 article) has changed over the years. I was wondering if any of you would be interested in having yor kids draw a picture of what they would know an "Indian, native, first nation, aboriginal, (or whatever vocab. they would be familiar with) person to look like. It would also be helpful if: * they could briefly explain why they choose to draw the picture the way that they did, and if this is how they believe native people look today, or where they think they got this idea from. *they drew a picture of themselves beside the first picture as a point of comparison. (I have gotten some back and find it interesting in the ways that they show the difference). --My goal is to understand not be offesive, I am open to any feedback you may have. I hope that many of you will participate. *If you are interested, I can post my findings. -You can scan the picture to |

I think the terminology's a little confusing. Karen Nope, it is Indian (from North America), First Nations, Aboriginal, or Native (Canadian/American)...sorry if the terminology was confusing. Jenn |

I'm not sure I'd promote the term "Indianess," in your report/studies, unless it's widely-acceptable. Karen The term, Native American has been the politically correct term for the 'Indians'. I was amazed to see that original post. T |

Karen In Canada, the First Nations people are the indigionous Indians, Aboriginals are the northern indiginous folks, The First Nations are self governed and supported Federally by the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs.
