Final answer:

Fritz Scholder and T.C. Cannon challenged the stereotypical images of 'Indianness' from non-Native artists such as Edward S. Curtis and likely painters like George Catlin or Frederic Remington.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Berlo and Phillips, Fritz Scholder and T.C. Cannon are Native American artists who reclaimed and subverted the stereotypical images of 'Indianness' that were perpetuated by non-Native artists. These pervasive stereotypes can particularly be traced back to two non-Native painters and one non-Native photographer. The non-Native painter referred to is likely George Catlin, whose work portrayed idealized views of Native Americans, and the other might reference the works of non-Native artists such as Frederic Remington or Charles Schreyvogel, who were known for their romanticized depictions of the American West. The non-Native photographer is Edward S. Curtis, known for his stylized images of Native Americans which often did not reflect actual cultural practices, such as the 1905 photograph of three Sioux chiefs posed in traditional regalia while living on a reservation where they would have dressed like other Americans.
