The Pit Boss: A New Native American Stereotype?

Hawkins, Jeffrey M.

Multicultural Education, v9 n4 p15-17 Sum 2002

Stresses the importance of U.S. history textbooks containing information that is accurate, realistic, and comprehensive, noting that while there are increased portrayals of Native Americans in today's history textbooks, portraying them in a stereotypical manner that suggests a single type of Indian culture is inappropriate and may affect students' attitudes toward Native Americans or their own self-esteem.
