From Pen to Sword United States Commission for Civil Rights “The stereotyping of any racial, ethnic, religious or other groups when promoted by our public educational institutions, teach all students that stereotyping of minority groups is acceptable, a dangerous lesson in a diverse society.”
From Pen to Sword United States Commission for Civil Rights“The elimination of stereotypes will make room for education about real Indian people, current Native American issues, and the rich variety of American Indians in our country.”
From Pen to Sword RESEARCH ABSTRACT Stephanie Fryberg, Ph.D (Tuyalip) Social Psychology | Stanford University December, 2002 Study 5 - European American students were explicitly primed with social representations of American Indians (i.e., Pocahontas, Chief Wahoo or Negative Stereotypes). They reported heightened self-esteem when compared to European Americans in the no-prime control condition. This boost in self-esteem for European Americans suggests that the dominant social representations of minority groups have significant implications for the psychological functioning of both minority and majority group members.
