One of the most interesting things I’ve noticed about non-natives appropriating our stuff is they never want anything but sage, smudging, and feathers.
Native people will share: our food, our music, our dancing, our art.
But no one is interested in those. They don’t CARE about our food and music. We never see those things in popular culture. Non-natives just want to take our religious items, because they feel entitled to the things people don’t want to share.
A Tribe Called Red (techno Native beats):
Taboo #noDAPL protest music (Native Hip Hop):
Supaman (Prayer loop song, Rap)
Check em out. Add on. Support Native Artists. Spread the love y'all
Good musical options. 🙌🏼
I FRICKIN LOVE A TRIBE CALLED RED!!! Seriously, listen to their stuff it’s so good!!!
Adding to this:
Music!
Snotty Nosed Rez Kids (”I Remember My Name” Native hip-hop)
Frank Waln (”Wokiksuye” Rap)
JB the First Lady (”The Most Unprotected Girl” R&B)
Clothes! There’s also a lot of Native designers doing amazing work blending old and new styles. These are two of my favorites
Sean Sherman - maybe one of the most famous Native chefs. There’s a great little video on him here and his website is here!
Dance! This one is a little trickier because no, you, non-Native person absolutely should not dance at the powwows unless it’s an open dance AND you’ve been invited to do so. (And if you have, please don’t do the white hippie dance. Please.) However, you can and absolute come out and support the circuit & the dancers. Some of my favorite dancers/competitions:
O.B. (Ohh Bizz) who mostly does grass dancing. (Yeah, I know he hasn’t updated in forever. the #NoDAPL protests derailed a lot of people’s lives.) He’s a lot of fun to watch and a complete sweetheart.
FNUC Powwow 2019 (also, yes, the announcer is pretty much typical for a powwow. You want a person who can roast literally everyone in a 10 mile radius? A powwow announcer can do that.)
I would have to say my favorite cult film, and using midnight movies as a standard would probably be “The Toxic Avenger”. I remember seeing it on TV as a kid and thinking it was the best movie in the world. Some runners up would be “Street Trash”, “El Topo” and “Basket Case”. But, I do have a soft spot for B-movies like “Laserblast”.
I think some of my favorite horror films are criminally underrated. This is probably because they had a crappy release or were overshadowed by other releases that their creators did: “Lifeforce”,and“Nightbreed” in their Director’s Cuts because both of those films were cut by the producers and have undeserved low raring on Rotten Tomatoes and other sites.I also like “Retribution”, “Mausoleum”, “Society”, “Mortuary”, “Frightmare”, “One Dark Night”… I could go on and on because I am always seeking out obscure movies.

Up now on my eBay! Various indie and small press comics from 1987! Grendel by Matt Wagner and the Pander Brothers! Also up for grabs: my superheroine comic collection (70’s-80’s stuff), random Radio Comix books and various indie comics! My house is super small, and I am still selling off thirty years’ worth of collectibles to raise money for ongoing back taxes & various upcoming large expenses, so every little bit helps. Thanks for looking & sharing!
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
