Throughout my childhood, like most everyone, Disney was a familiar treat. It is amazing to me at how much those filmmakers were able to put in those movies. I was watching Peter Pan not too long ago and was appalled at how the Native American tribe was portrayed. They showed the peace pipe, stereotypical clothing and even a stereotypical greeting of "How". Kids are so susceptible to these images and its shocking at how subtle these issues were portrayed. I would hope that movies and television would stop these stereotypes, but it seems to be the same as it was years ago.
