西部美国代表了美国文化的一个重要方面。牛仔、肉眼所及的草原、左轮手枪以及广袤的大地，这些都是在西部片中经常出现的刻板典型图景。这些西部片的确在很大程度上构建了很多人对于美国西部的理解。谈论西部离不开谈论美国印第安人。他们在广阔的土地上生生不息地繁衍生活了几千年，是美国最早的原住民。2019年暑假，华东师范大学美国研究中心和美国中阿肯色大学人文学院在美国联合举办了名为“美国印第安人和荒野西部：意像与现实”的研讨班。上海美国中心非常荣幸地邀请到华东师范大学美国研究中心副主任金衡山教授以及两位研究生与大家分享他们在美国为期一个月时间的生活所见和所感，以及对美国西部和印第安人文化的理解。

The American West represents an important aspect of American culture. The prototypical cowboys, prairies stretching as far as the eye can see, the revolver, and vast landscapes are symbols that regularly appear in popular Westerns. Indeed, these movies greatly contributed to the construction many people’s understanding of the American West. It is impossible to talk about the West, however, without talking about the American Indians who have populated, cultivated, thrived, and survived in those areas for thousands of years. They are the indigenous people, the first settlers of the iconic American landscapes. This past summer in the United States, the American Studies Center at East China Normal University and the University of Central Arkansas co-hosted a seminar titled, “The American Indians and the Wild West: Image and Reality.” The Shanghai American Center is honored to invite Vice Director and Professor Jin Hengshan and two postgraduate students to offer their reflections on what they learned from the seminar, as well as what they experienced with their own eyes and minds regarding the American West and Indian cultures.
