Document Summary
Expected to have artist/artwork for each def, dates aren"t crucial, spelling+nation are more important. Don"t use same artist, even if it"s a diff artwork. Can"t use scott benesiinaabandan, but can use images from this week. Capitalize indigenous/aboriginal/first nations--all are adjectives, so add. Buffalo boy is different, but similar, to miss chief. Bb a little more specific to buffalo/res school experience. Mc more a global critique of perceptions of the west. Expands concept of gender to b more than choice of sexual partner. Specific nations typically have specific terms, which should b used when possible. But global term helps to distinguish from western ideologies. Unsettled fixed-gender boundaries of western religious doctrine. Also beyond human gender--not man, woman, or beast. About taking audiences out of comfort zones, reflecting prejudices back @ them. Comes from buffalo bill/touring wild west shows. Meant to create living picture of west. Contains burning cabin, custer"s last stand, etc.
