"Native Amercian Barbie' is about the toy industry stereotyping and idealizing the Native Amercian woman gender. The essay underlines the background and opinions about the Barbie including the primitive and sexualized view of the woman in Native American cultures. Little girls get these dolls and see the primitive view of Native Amercians and they think that all Native Americans are similar and therefore, the little girls learn to stereotype the Native American culture.
This essay would be great for me to use because it is looking at the modern culture's view of Native Amercians and how we learn about their culture as young children.
