Description
For well over a century, European Americans have fetishized and appropriated American Indian culture--in fraternal orders, in unfortunate music festival fashion and in professional sports. The time has come for that to stop, according to the directors of More Than a Word, which will screen at the Menlo Park Library on Jan. 30. The documentary by John and Kenn Little makes the argument that the use of Native Americans as mascots is only a symptom of a more serious societal ill--the dehumanization of Native Americans as a whole. Following the screening, there will be a Q&A featuring local academics and members of the American Indian community.
