The Indian Fashion Show

Parezo, Nancy J.·1999·Unpacking Culture

Abstract

Every American knows what an American Indian should look like. It is general American popular culture knowledge. But what most Americans in the 1930s through the 1950s “knew” was not reality, it was an iconic Indian seen through the lens of essentializing American stereotypes. Anthropologists have long considered it part of their moral agenda to replace the cultural misinformation and overgeneralizations that ground stereotypes with culturally accurate information in order to eliminate prejudice, discrimination, and assumptions. This paper constitutes a case study of one anthropologist’s attempts to eliminate entrenched, negative racial, ethnic, and cultural stereotypes about American Indians through stereotype transference, respect for cultural variation, and content eradication, espousing gender as the critical universal commonality that will eliminate discrimination. Frederic Douglas’s innovative living display, the Indian Fashion Show, is embedded within a theoretical discussion of stereotyping as a sociocultural process.

  • Studies of the cooptation and manipulation of Native aesthetics for North American clothing and textiles during this period tend to focus on far more visible South Pacific and Southwest/Western regionalisms, with little discussion of the Northwest Coast.

    “Anthropologist Nancy Parezo notes that almost every outfit in the show, including an 1890s Haida dance shirt (then attributed Tlingit by Douglas; DAM cat.no.1951.90) as well as Tlingit hats, was adapted for commercial designs (Parezo and Blomberg 1997, pp. 51, 54;Parezo 1999, pp. 258-59).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
