“Loving in the wrong way”

A documentary film project directed by Red Haircrow on Native stereotypes and their connection to racism, colonialism, and deep societal issues.

New at @dw_deutschewelle from Elizabeth Schumacher, featuring interviews with myself and other Native activists and professionals living in Europe. Please read the full article here: https://www.dw.com/en/why-germany-cant-quit-its-racist-native-american-problem/a-52546068 - - "Across the country, Germans spent the past week celebrating Carnival, known for its parades, drinking, and colorful costumes ahead of the Lenten fast. There is a pervasive attitude that for these five days, Germans can shed their rigid cultural norms and adopt an "anything goes" policy. - Every year, pictures of some of the more racist trappings of Carnival, such as the use of blackface or "Chinese" costumes complete with conical hat, tend to face backlash both from mainstream culture and the country’s growing Asian and Afro-German communities. - However, the same cannot be said of the abundance of "Native American" costumes, a wildly popular choice in a country that has had a robust infatuation with Native stereotypes since the 1800s, made more popular by the works of beloved writer Karl May and his Winnetou character, the archetypal 'noble savage, 'and the 20th-century films depicting the character."
