> I really like the idea of using “Noble savage stereotype” and “Noble
savage stereotype in literature,”

By adopting those terms as subject headings I feel that one is perpetuating
the stereotype.

If there is someone on this list who has Native American or First Nations
ancestry, I would like to hear their thoughts.  I think there has to be a
better way.
