Discussion

Discuss how American popular music has misappropriated American Indian culture. In this paper make
sure to define these terms: Singing Redface, Racial Antipathy, Idealized Sympathy, Cultural
Misappropriation, Cultural Confusion, Blackface Minstrelsy, and Playing Indian. In addition to discussing
and defining these terms, choose one musical example discussed in chapter 6 and analyze how it is an
example of singing redface. In addition to listening to the music and the lyrics, if a music video is available
use it to support the thesis of your argument.
