When Indians Play Indian: Native American Stereotypes in Professional Wrestling
Throughout the history of modern professional wrestling, Native American wrestlers have often bee... more Throughout the history of modern professional wrestling, Native American wrestlers have often been “subjugated” to the role of the Native American caricature. Performers with stage names like Wahoo McDaniel, Tatanka, Navajo Warrior and others have resorted to wearing traditional Native headdresses, performing “war dances”, shouting war hoots and using gimmicks like the Tomahawk Chop to take down their opponents. Playing up to white cultural ideas for sport notoriety is nothing new, but professional wrestling offers an all too acceptable arena for Native Americans to “play Indian.” Whether they are portraying the stereotype of the “Noble Savage” or of the “Savage Indian”, these actual Native American performers are knowingly playing up the caricatured version of themselves as a means to entertain the non-native masses. Though all wrestling characters build on cultural stereotypes in establishing their wrestling identities, this active portrayal of the stereotypical version of a native warrior is big business. Does this marketing of their ethnicity perpetuate the stereotypes that non-natives associate with the image of the Native American? The debate about whether or not these caricatures devalue or celebrate the culture rages on. This paper will seek to identify the various Native American wrestling stereotypes, the athletes who play and profit from them, and ways in which these roles could actually benefit rather than hurt the culture they strive to represent.

These sites have worked so hard to diminish the stereotypical librarian image that they have created new stereotypical images. With blogs like: The Annoyed Librarian, NextGen Librarians, The Lipstick Librarian, The Belly dancing librarian and many more, have we sullied our image even further by going to such extremes? Though some of these websites focus primarily on subject matter pertinent to the profession, many have been created with the sole purpose of proving that all librarians are not stuffy and old fashioned. This paper will examine various types of sites managed by individual librarians and investigate how they help or hinder the image of librarianship.

We see this image in movies, books, magazines, comics, as costumes, and even as an action figure. One area of pop culture often overlooked when talking about the image of the librarian is the portrayal of librarians in advertising.
For decades, the image of the librarian has been used to sell everything from cars to chewing gum, shampoo to vibrators and even anti-diarrheals! Whether the portrayal is of the dowdy version or the closet sexpot, advertisers are banking on the perception of the image of the librarian to sell their wares. This paper will present various advertising campaigns that use the image of the librarian and discuss the role they play in the perception of the profession and the perpetuation of its stereotypical image.
