Annotated Bibliography
For the Child Taken, for the Parent Left Behind
The first source used in this work is “For the child taken, for the parent left behind” by Renate Eigenbrod. It is a text written by a former student of a boarding school and expresses all the feelings, emotions, and experiences that the author experienced (Eigenbrod, 2012). This source is valuable for this academic paper as it is a representation of actual experience. Moreover, it is expressed not only in childhood but also from the adult point of view. Thus, using it in the workplace can significantly expand the range of studies that consider the topic of indigenous people and their representation of the American nation.
Decolonizing the Hockey Novel
The next source that had a significant contribution to the scientific paper was by Sam McKegney and Trevor Phillips called “Decolonizing the hockey novel”. This research paper analyzes and provides valuable data about a game like a hockey (McKegney & Phillips, 2018). It is noted that it is important not only as a recreation but also as a way to determine the national identity of the Canadian population. Moreover, the sport is considered in a historical and modern context, as well as in relation to gender, race and ethnicity.
The Burden of Historical Representation
A study by Stoddard et al. under the title “The burden of historical representation” examines the topic of representation of indigenous peoples in the film industry. Hence, the main argument is that these individuals are often shown in movies but rarely have any voice (Stoddard et al., 2014). Moreover, this source provides information on how, for example, the concept of freedom is transmitted in this field of activity to the general public. All these factors make this academic work valuable for studying North American First Nations scientifically.
Image and Influence
The last source used to support the claims in the research paper is the book “Image and Influence” By Andrew Tudor. It raises the importance of awareness and understanding of topics such as the nature of communication and mass culture (Tudor, 2015). Therefore, it plays a vital role in shaping public opinion and views on indigenous people’s peculiarities, traditions, and life. In addition, it is essential to note that this work provides data on trends, such as attempts to adapt psycholinguistics to understand the language of the film.
