As a special guest, Dr. Brian Baker, Professor of Native American Studies at California State University, Sacramento, will explore and explain why fictionalized, commercial representations (i.e. Indian princess or maidens, Redskins, warriors) of Native Americans are offensive and damaging to Native Americans and their culture.
The special presentation is free to Museum guests with paid admission: $5 for adults, $3 for youths ages 6-17 and free for children five and under. The State Indian Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located at 2618 K Street in Sacramento. More information is available by calling 916-324-8112 or visiting www.parks.ca.gov/indianmuseum.
