1963: A Salute to Our American Indians!

National Human Services Assembly, National Social Welfare Assembly, Native Americans

This public service announcement from the National Social Welfare Assembly appears in an old issue of DC’s The Brave and The Bold. It reminds young readers that Native Americans had their own thing going on before Europeans landed in North America to wipe out millennia of indigenous culture. Although, it kind of glosses over that part…

Here in the 21st century, some readers will cringe at the use of the term “American Indian.” But, that was the language in 1963. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 hadn’t even been passed at that time, and our country was still mired in centuries-old traditions of racism. You have to give some credit to the NSWA for at least attempting to broaden cultural horizons in a positive way. That organization doesn’t seem to run comic book ads anymore, but now goes by the name National Human Services Assembly.

Today we’ll share with you Jack Kirby and Joe Simon’s vision of Davy Crockett. Yes, we prefer science fiction and crime stories, but it’s interesting to see the King’s take on an American Western legend. Simon and Kirby collaborated on #31-33 of Western Tales. Supplemental material includes instructions on riding horses and making war rattles, and a piece on the Texas Rangers.

Collector’s Guide: From Western Tales #31; 1955, Harvey Comics.

Ace Magazines, golden age, Indian Braves, Native Americans

We’re not really sure what to make of 1951’s Indian Braves #3 by Ace magazines. On the one hand, the characterization of the indigenous peoples of America seems a bit trite, not to mention slanted. On the other hand, the historical footnotes do serve an educational purpose. And, the treacheries of the colonists and the British Army are pretty clear.

At their best, the narrative stories attain a kind of primitive Dances With Wolves vibe — a real neat story for boys, with some garbled facts on native culture. But you don’t need us to play thought police. You can judge for yourself right here.
