This particular volume, Tintin en Amérique, has generated criticism over the years due to stereotypical and insensitive depictions of Native American peoples. The imagery, as seen on the cover, reflects outdated and offensive tropes that modern audiences often find problematic.

If you’re using this for educational or analytical purposes, it’s a good opportunity to:

• Discuss historical context (the book was made in a different era).

• Address how representations of Indigenous people have evolved in media.

• Critique or challenge outdated stereotypes through critical reading.
