Title: Cine e Historia: Los estereotipos de los nativos americanos en el género western. Una revisión desde 1990 hasta la actualidad.
Author: Puertas Carrillo, Juan Carlos
Tutor: Capdevila Muntades, Alexandra
Abstract: The Hollywood western genre has created an imaginary filled with stereotypes about native americans, portraying them as "savages" in opposition to "civilization." Hollywood elevated these narratives to national myths, solidifying a historical identity based on colonization and conflict. Stories of Indigenous attacks, women’s abductions, and heroic feats by settlers and soldiers became the cornerstones of the western, creating a one-sided vision that glorified conquest. This approach simplified and erased the cultural complexity of Indigenous peoples. The power of cinema not only shaped historical perceptions but also perpetuated a distorted image of Native Americans that persists to this day. Although attempts at revisionism have emerged in recent decades, the stereotypes created by Hollywood continue to hinder authentic and fair representation of Indigenous peoples in film and popular culture.
