In this engaging account, Michelle H. Raheja offers the first book-length study of the Indigenous actors, directors, and spectators who not only helped shape Hollywood's representation of Indigenous peoples but also, through their very participation, complicated the dominant, and usually negative, messages about Native peoples in film.

In this deeply engaging account Michelle H. Raheja offers the first book-length study of the Indigenous actors, directors, and spectators who helped shape Hollywood's representation of Indigenous peoples. Since the era of silent films, Hollywood movies and visual culture generally have provided the primary representational field on which Indigenous images have been displayed to non-Native audiences.

The reasons for mental health issues among American Indian children are not well understood by investigators outside of tribal communities. Developing appropriate methodological approaches and evidence-based programs for helping these youth overcome their specific challenges requires further investigation. The distrust that many American Indians have of outside populations is linked to the negative consequences of colonization. This contributes to American Indian and Native American tribal members' under-utilization of mental health services, higher therapy dropout rates, and poor response to treatment programs that are not culturally sensitive. This book examines the forces affecting psychological development and mental health in American Indian children today. Experts from leading universities discuss factors such as family conditions, economic status, and academic achievement, as well as political, social, national, and global influences, including racism. Specific attention is paid to topics such as the role of community in youth mental health issues, depression in American Indian parents, substance abuse and alcohol dependency, and the unique socioeconomic characteristics of this ethnic group.
