Also, please briefly respond to the following (Due Thursday, March 26):

According to Aleta Ringlero, in what ways are representational codes (performance, costume, setting, framing, lighting, angle) used to produce images that support ideologies regarding Native Americans? In what whays did the attempt to pose Native American women after the European academy model interrupt the curculation of these ideologies?
