I chose to put this link as a post because it kind of states the obvious, that to many people doesn't seem that obvious at all. It discusses how people especially filmmakers and novelists romanticize the Western past and portray most Indians as horse riding, feather wearing Indians. The result then becomes that non-Indians come to believe that that is the "true" meaning of being a real Indian. This site states that while Indians do hold many of the traditions from the past they have found an innovative way to integrate their traditions in modern time. The site goes through a series of Indian people who talk about how they keep their traditional ties to modern times.
I just thought it was pretty interesting.
