Happy Columbus Day!

No, the title is totally irrelevant to the blog posting.  This is just my 5th favorite holiday.
In the Pocahontas Perplex by Rayna Green, she mentions the idea that by stereotyping the natives we're actually raising questions about our own identity.  This intrigued me because no one thinks about stereotyping leading to a deeper assertion of ones own identity.
It's interesting to note how by stereotyping we seem to rip humanity from the figures that we're attempting to humanize.
