The Searchers

The main thing that I saw in the movie The Searchers, was the stereotypes of the Indians, Cowboys, and
where everything took place.
   
The Indians were portrayed asthe savages who killed for fun. They wear the feathers and head bands or head dresses. They have red or dark skin color. They speak in there own language as well as english.They ride horses and shoot with bows and arrows, maybe a gunonce or twice. They live in teepees or huts not houses. Pretty much all the different stereotypes there are for indians. Same goes for the cowboys. They hate the indians, and they kill them once they see them. They are usually seen as the heros. They all ride horses and they all  have guns and ride in pride when theyhunt down the indians.The movie takes place in the middle of the desert surrounded by mountains and valleys.


I thought that the movie was very stereotypical, but it also shows how we saw indians and cowboys at that time.
