WEST001. Weston, Mary Ann. Native
Americans in the news: images of Indians in the twentieth century press.
Westport, CT: Greenwood P, 1996. Pages 120-121.
Publication type: Book chapter or section
Brief mention. The heavy coverage of the
Ku Klux Klan routing of January 18, 1958 (front page of the New York
Times, Chicago Tribune, and Chicago Daily News; also
covered in Christian Science Monitor, Life, Newsweek,
and U.S. News and World Report) favored the event over the situation
and catered to the image of Indians as warlike. Notes the recurrence,
in media coverage of the routing, of phrases such as “on the warpath,”
“Redskins stirred up,” “Natives are restless,” and
“warwhooping.”
