Briefly summarize what you viewed. This summary should be no more than 2 paragraphs.
What information/statistics/perspectives did you find most interesting?
Use the theory of Internal Colonialism to analyze the film.
Explain how the ‘white racial frame’ theoretical perspective may help us understand why many Americans have not been taught the true nature of Anglo –Native relations/conflict in the U.S.
Based on what you saw, discuss how the terms ‘racialization of state policy’ and ‘racial dictatorship’ may be applied to the circumstance of Native Americans in the film.
Can you think of any other relevant terms/concepts/theories covered in class/text that could apply to the film?
Based on the information relayed in chapters 3-4 and the information presented in The Canary Effect, how do you think the US government, capitalism and racism may be linked and how might they reinforce each other?
Writing mechanics including grammar, spelling, and organization of ideas are important!
