Hello,
My name is Jonathan S. Tomhave (Hidatsa, Ho-Chunk, and Prairie Band Potawatomi) and I am a doctoral candidate in the Department of Communication. My dissertation entitled Cameras and Indians: Acts of Performed Agency and Resistance by First Nations Actors examines how in spite of the advances in both representation and access to mainstream media system for American Indians, Hollywood still continues to foster and project historically problematic representations of American Indians.
