Monday PSA Classic: A Salute to Our American Indians!
November 19th, 2007
Filed under: Comics
I know I’ve shown this PSA before, but it’s the perfect fit for Thanksgiving and I just can’t pass it up.
From Superboy #88 (and several other April 1961 DC Comics) comes “A Salute To Our American Indians!” This alternating informative and condescending PSA is a clear product of an earlier age. Personally, I like the Indians-as-North-American-Welcome-Wagon in the second panel; it’s about as historically inaccurate as you can get and still pretend to be educational.
This PSA is by Jack Schiff (of course) and Bernard Baily.

Ah yes, god bless those American Indians, without whom we wouldn’t have turquoise bracelets and “colorful rugs”.

Hehe. This was how Indians were portrayed in my school–the “Indian welcome wagon,” indeed. (And I’m younger than you!)
