Shadows of the Indian: Stereotypes in American Culture

Originally published in Contemporary Psychology: APA Review of Books, 1984, Vol 29(11), 916. Reviews the book, The Performer-Audience Connection: Emotion to Metaphor in Dance and Society by Judith Lynne Hanna (1983). The author explores a topic that merits more systematic scrutiny than it has thus far received: the communication of emotion through dance. This lucid and entertaining book places dance in a broad theoretical and historical perspective. Although the author concedes the possibility of universally understood movements in dance that are innate or that result from common human experience, she clearly feels most comfortable approaching the topic from a symbolic interactionist perspective, with its emphasis on actor intentionality and the meanings that emerge through social interaction. Ethnographic studies of this sort are valuable in delineating the complexity and richness of a topic, but they are not as useful as the author sometimes implies in disentangling the complicated skein of psychological, social, and cultural processes underlying audience responses to performances.

The Performer-Audience Connection: Emotion to Metaphor in Dance and Society.

This article addresses issues of diversity in intergenerational communication by introducing a model that integrates key aspects of the communication predicament and enhancement models of aging with other potent constructs (e.g., group vitality, mindfulness). The model is then applied to the health care experience of an understudied population-older Native Americans. Specifically, it is used to illuminate how intergenerational communication may be facilitated or, indeed, hindered by communicative processes born out of categorization and stereotyping. Health care professionals (in particular), whose working environment is increasingly populated by older economically, culturally, and ethnically diverse patients, should be made aware of some of the strengths and weaknesses of their communicative practices in such intergenerational interactions.

Integrating the communicative predicament and enhancement of aging models: the case of older Native Americans.

This premier publication of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian documents Native American dance with stunning photographs and essays by noted contributors.

Native American Dance: Ceremonies and Social Traditions

Lincoln's study of Native American humour moves from tribal culture to interethnic literature. He covers the traditional Trickster of origin myths, historical ironies (speeches, treatises, as-told-to life stories), Euroamericans `playing Indian', Feminist Indian home humour, contemporary painters and playwrights reinventing Coyote, popular mixed-blood music and Red English, and three Native American novelists, Louise Erdrich, James Welch, and N. Scott Momaday, as well as a bicultural novel, The Northern Lights, by Howard Norman.

Indi'n Humor: Bicultural Play in Native America.

Powwows such as those in the central Ohio area offer opportunity to explore a complex set of inter‐and intracultural communication. American Indian efforts to increase common understanding of contemporary Native America, powwow stresses American Indian commonalities in relation to mainstream American culture. In the context of the American Indian community they stress tribal individuality and they value intertribal negotiation rather than pan‐ethnic conglomeration or assimilation.
