Constructing representation : Dakota and Ojibwe in Minnesota literary and media narratives

2025
journal article
article
dc.abstract.enThis paper aims to examine how groups of Indigenous Peoples, specifically Dakota and Ojibwe in Minnesota, are currently being portrayed and perceived by the general audience in the contemporary cultural environment. To this end, an analysis of two complementary elements of discourse has been conducted. These are (a) literature as an important and in-depth way of describing local reality through both fiction and non fiction, and (b) local media, which provide everyday knowledge about the state’s Indigenous communities, with a special emphasis on Minnesota’s acclaimed public media. The article’s goal, therefore, is to highlight the similarities and differences between narratives presented by literature and media.
