Canadian Indian artist Gerald McMaster uses humor and irony to address the dischotomy of the stereotypes of cowboys and Indians.

His exhibition, The Cowboy/Indian Show, runs at the Calgary Glenbow Museum until Oct. 17.

"It's had a real impact so far," notes reserve education director Helen Bull. "We wanted to stop all these problems before they got out of hand - before there wasn't any way to stop them."
