Показать описание
In 1887, Cherokee Ned Christie was accused of murdering U.S. Deputy Marshall Dan Maples in Tahlequah, Indian Territory. Despite there being no evidence, hundreds of “fake news” stories about Ned were printed. This presentation discusses how fake news shaped Christie's image as an iconic symbol of Wild West violence and Native savagery.

Ned Christie and the Consequences of Fake News was streamed live as part of the AskHistorians Digital Conference, 2021, but is now available for posterity!

Thanks for introducing me to Dr. Mihesuah & her works - so much information, not only about Ned Christie, but about mindsets, divisions, policies, both historic and current - Excellent presentation
