In this post I would like to share some images I found online. I just entered Native into the search engine on Facebook, and this is some of what I found. I thought it would be interesting to see how people on Facebook portray Native Americans or Native American related subject matter. What made me think of this was a post I stumbled across just scrolling through my own news feed. It was a post from a page called "Revolutionary Images." Here's the post: 

I thought this was an interested post. It's a perspective most people probably don't think of when Columbus is mentioned. However, if you really think about it, it is true, haha, and hilarious. This next image was taken from the page "Aboriginal and Tribal Nation News." I thought it was interesting because in one of our readings the author talked about the homeland security shirts that were often worn by non-native. 

The next image was taken from a page called "Native American Indian - Old Photos," and the description for the page reads, "A collection of public-domain photos, taken by many different photographers between 1845 and 1950, representing Native North American Indian folks from many Tribes and Nations." 

I thought this image was interesting because it reminded me of the images of natives who were made to pose in stereotypical fashions that aligned with American perception of the Indian at the time. I mean, come on, the picture has feathers in the hair and even a tomahawk. The next few photos are a little different. I found the rest on a page called "Native Humor." This page is run by Native Americans. Well, at least one of the administrators is Native; i'm not sure about the rest. One thing I've learned about contemporary Native American culture is that there is a great appreciation and connection to humor. So, I thought it would be interesting to display some images that were presented by a Native American Facebook page dedicated to Native American Humor. The pictures are as follows:
