The video I watched this weekend “How Hollywood Stereotyped the Native Americans” it explains how the Native Americans had a rough time in the past years with negative stereotypes. It made me feel bad because the man that got interviewed said when he was a young boy he did not no a lot about his culture. He said he did not know anything more than the white kid sitting next to him. In a way this is very bad, because not everyone knows who and what Native Americans are and how they live. This video along with the packet we read on postcolonialism all have something to do with The Tempest. In Act II and III there is proof that Caliban is a part of the native people . For example, Prospero says to Caliban “thou poisonous slave, got by the devil himself upon thy wicked dam, come forth!”, and in the text about postcolonialism alternity is said to be “the others” being “excluded from positions of power and viewed as different and inferior.” In the Tempest Prospero does the same thing to Caliban in. Prospero treats Caliban really bad and makes him a slave. Caliban had to give over his island to Prospero even though he was a native, because he did not have any more power. Prospero the manipulated Caliban just like on George Orwell's book 1984. So all these stories relate to each other in some way. The Tempest and the article relate to each other between Caliban and the Native Americans. Caliban had to give up his land to Prospereo and the same thing happened to the Native Americans.
