Details
Hollywood’s golden age of Westerns often left Native people in the margins—on screen and behind the scenes. Now, it’s time to shift the focus.
Join in for an eye-opening evening with Dr. Liza Black, historian and author of Picturing Indians: Native Americans in Film, 1941–1960. Explore the real experiences of Native actors, extras, and cultural contributors who worked in the shadow of Hollywood’s sets.
This free Zoom lecture is in conjunction with our new exhibition, The Cinematic West: The Art That Made the Movies, and offers a rare perspective on the intersection of art, film, and Indigenous representation.
