Sierra Adare contends that negative \"Indian\" stereotypes do physical, mental, emotional, and financial harm to First Nations individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt its core, this book is a social study whose purpose is to explore the responses of First Nations peoples to representative \"Indian\" stereotypes portrayed within the TV science fiction genre. Participants in Adare's study viewed episodes from \u003ci\u003eMy Favorite Martian\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eStar Trek\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eStar Trek: Voyager\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eQuantum Leap\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Adventures of Superman\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eStar Trek: The Next Generation\u003c\/i\u003e. Reactions by viewers range from optimism to a deep-rooted sadness. The strongest responses came after viewing a \u003ci\u003eSuperman\u003c\/i\u003e episode's depiction of an \"evil medicine man\" who uses a ceremonial pipe to kill a warrior. The significance of First Nations peoples' responses and reactions are both surprising and profound. After publication of \u003ci\u003e\"Indian\" Stereotypes in TV Science Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e, ignorance can no longer be used as an excuse for Hollywood's irresponsible depiction of First Nations peoples' culture, traditions, elders, religious beliefs, and sacred objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSIERRA S.
