Michael Yellow Bird argued in “Cowboys and Indians: Toys of Genocide, Icons of American Colonialism” that “The colonizer’s falsified stories have become universal truths to mainstream society, and have reduced Aboriginal culture to a caricature.” (Yellow Bird 2004, p. 39.).
I began to deal with this argument by searching on the internet for the term “Cowboys and Indians”. In my searches I found a lot of media and sources (stories, lyrics, movies, comics, etc.), which showed not the real history of Indians and Cowboys, but only a distorted reality.
