Meer over het boek

The book explores the phenomenon of "salvage tourism," where communities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries created attractions based on Native American histories to draw tourists. It examines performances like the Happy Canyon Indian Pageant and Tecumseh!, highlighting how these events claimed to honor Indigenous culture while presenting it through the lens of white settlers. By linking historical performances to their modern counterparts, the author critiques the implications of these practices on the perception of Native American societies as vanishing.
