      abstract = {In This Deeply Engaging Account Michelle H. Raheja offers  the first book-length study of the Indigenous actors,  directors, spectators who helped shape Hollywood's  representation of Indigenous peoples. Since the era of  silent films, Hollywood movies and visual culture generally  have provided the primary representational field on which  Indigenous images have been displayed to non-Native  audiences. These films have been highly influential in  shaping perceptions of Indigenous peoples as, for example,  a dying race or as inherently unable or unwilling to adapt  to change. However, films with Indigenous plots and  subplots also signify at least some degree of Native  presence in a culture that largely defines Native peoples  as absent or separate. -- Native actors, directors, and  spectators have had a part in creating these cinematic  representations and have thus complicated the dominant, and  usually that films portray. In Reservation Reelism Raheja  examines the history of these Native actors, directors, and  spectators, reveals their contributions, and attempts to  create positive representations in films that reflect the  complex and vibrant experiences of Native peoples and  communities. --Book Jacket.},
