- Description:
- Professor of Anthropology Mindy Morgan delivers a presentation titled, "Visions and visages: transforming images of American Indians in 'Indians at work, 1933-1945'". Morgan looks at the changing vision of Native Americans in the New Deal publication, 'Indians at Work', published by the U. S. Bureau of Indian Affairs. She suggests the vision of Indians shifted over that period from a more traditional view of tribe in a rural setting to a modern view of individuals in an urban environment. Morgan suggests that these portrayals were used in an attempt to show Indians successfully assimilating into American society. Question and answer session follows. Morgan is introduced by Professor John P. Beck, Associate Director, Michigan State University School of Human Resources and Labor Relations. Part of the "Our Daily Work/Our Daily Lives" Brown Bag series sponsored by the Michigan State University School of Human Resources and Labor Relations and the MSU Museum.
