Mercurie's take on TV Indians

Someone named Mercurie has written a three-part analysis of Indians in television. Here are the links:

The Invisible Minority:  Native Americans on American Television Part One

The Invisible Minority:  Native Americans on American Television Part Two

The Invisible Minority:  Native Americans on American Television Part Three

In his References section, Mercurie cites Newspaper Rock first:Newspaper Rock

(A blog devoted to the portrayal of Native Americans in pop culture. It not only proved invaluable in my research, but to be very interesting reading as well.)In a comment, he added:Rob, feel free post excerpts on Newspaper Rock. I would be flattered! Newspaper Rock is one of the best blogs I have ever read.Therefore, you know his analyses must be good. <g>

Clearly Mercurie has watched most of the shows he mentions. Which puts him way ahead of me. I didn't start watching Native-themed movies and TV shows seriously until the mid-1990s.

Anyway, these articles are too long to summarize, but I'll post a few excerpts soon. Meanwhile, check 'em out.
