Through the Comanche aesthetics and method of marʉawe, or reporting back to the people, this presentation engages audiences with a colorful history of the production, performance, and perception of real and reel Comanches in media archives.
This is the Billington Lecture of the American West, and is part of The Huntington Research 2025-2026 "Active in the Archive" lecture series.
