Title
The End of the Bemidji Powow
Description
The general message of this cartoon is on the irony clinging to an American identity. Each of the groups in this cartoon is decorated with feathers signifying their claim to a true native American identity. In this image Suffragettes, Statesmen, Business men, and the Republican and Democratic party all have decorated themselves in Indian headdresses. Two Native Americans are pictured in the background observing the procession. It is ironic that Native Americans, the only individuals who can a true American identity are denied many of the rights and privileges of American citizenship.
