Native American decorations and chunks of petrified wood once drew tourists and their dollars to this old trading post along old Route 66. After being closed, it has reopened once again and sells souvenirs of the old west to tourists passing through. The iconic stereotypical profile painted on he side of the old dome speaks the loudest here. It portrays the Native American as a generic ceremonial figure. He looks like that because that is what tourists expect to see. A cliché. The image on this wall may raise questions in the minds of those who look at it. It is appropriate to decorate a commercial enterprise with an ethnic stereotype? Even if we are in what once was known as “Indian Country?” However we may choose to answer such questions, this wall is speaking to us.
