Indian+Show

__Indian Show at the World's Colombian Expostion of 1893. __ During the Worlds Fair several different Native American tribes came to the fair. As you can see, the indians that attended the show had to travel long distances to get there, but it was worth the travel. Once the various indian tribes all gathered there, they were able to trade with each other. Cultural diffusion was one of the biggest advantages of attending this fair. One of the big unjustices to the indians at the Worlds Fair was that there exhibit was barely documented by the press and other officials at the fair. Also they were not visited by fairgoers as much for the main reason of difficult communication. Also the indian show was known as the ethnological exhibit, a science that deals with the division of human beings into races, origin, distribution, relations, and characteristics. This classification of the indians showed that other people thought little of them just because they were different: another big injustice at the fair. If these injustices weren't shown by people at the fair, relations between indians and the rest of the population might have been stronger, providing benifits to both sides.
