| Does it matter that one of the most canonical American documentary images, long thought of as a classic dispossessed “Okie," is actually a photograph of a Native American? And if it does matter, how? This talk explores the various ways that recent research by Geoffrey Dunn on the life of Florence Owens Thompson might significantly alter our thinking about Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother (1936). |

It further asks how “reclassification” of that twentieth-century cultural icon may demand rethinking our notions of the 1930s, the role of documentary photography in defining societal flux, and our imbricated perceptions of Native American and "mainstream" Euro-American identity. |
