Frontierland: Visions of the American West
The Walt Disney Company shaped how people think about the historic American frontier. Disney’s Frontierland shows America as a place built by bold and fearless pioneers. It shows them fighting against dangerous American Indians in the “Wild West.” This was a harmful stereotype in a lot of TV shows and movies in the 1950s. Stereotypes like this have stayed in people’s minds for a long time. |
