Reel Injuns Response

When Neil Diamond visits the "indian" summer camp i could not help but noticing that the whole place was filled with white kids and that was it and everything they were doing was stereotypical of native americans. Even the leader of the camp admitted he based all of his knowledge on 2 or 3 movies. The purpose behind a this camp is to teach younger children the history of the native americans but i believe it is wrong to have a camp with such little actual knowledge being used. I'm sure its fun and all and everyone pretends to be an indian at some point but at least teach some of their actual histroy. And have other races there other than whites.
