The reserves.
Look at any group that lives in an insular society - they tend to be looked upon much differently than everyone else. Though natives are definitely treated far worse than others. Some of the attitudes I've seen surrounding hutterites aren't all that flattering either.
The one thing that defeats a misconception is tangible proof that it is wrong. So long as one society is separate from another, the misconceptions and stereotypes about eachother will remain.
