We're Gonna Capture Johnny Depp: Making Kin with Cinematic Comanches
This article analyzes Comanche elder LaDonna Harris's adoption of actor Johnny Depp as a response to the cultural politics of Disney's casting him as a Comanche Tonto in The Lone Ranger 2013.

Focusing my in…

Situated within historical and contemporary cultural and sonic contexts, Cash’s Indian Country soundscape is saturated with real and imagined sounds of Indian and Settler from the physical and musical geographies of Indian Country. Indian Coun…
