Analysis: Billboard : The billboard doesn’t immediately tell me what could be wrong with it and took me a couple of times of reading the details to find something. I believe the “line of RVs in the background” alongside an old historic estate could be insensitive to the history of the estate and any descendants of the previous owners. Why do we need to mix something tacky like an RV park with a historic estate? The inclusion of an image of RVs in the background can give the impression that the historic site is primarily a commercial venture for tourists. The billboard may not provide sufficient context about the significance of the historic site, its history, or its cultural relevance. Without this information, visitors may not fully appreciate the importance of the site. Television Ad : The TV ad is more obvious than the billboard. The use of “ancient Indian mounds” from indigenous groups for recreational activities is a form of cultural appropriation. These mounds often have cultural, historical, and religious significance to indigenous communities, and using them as a backdrop for family leisure activities can be disrespectful and offensive. And depicting the "good old days" with all-white families engaging in these activities on indigenous lands is insensitive and reinforces harmful stereotypes. It fails to acknowledge the history of colonization and suffering that indigenous communities have endured. The imagery of spotlessly dressed families climbing on indigenous mounds and treating them as playgrounds perpetuates a colonialist mentality that minimizes the significance of indigenous cultures and their struggles.
