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

OXDX Clothing - Diné

John Isaiah Pepion - Blackfeet

Food! There’s a been a major resurgence of interest in indigenous foods lead by Native chefs, many of whom are on youtube!

The Alaska Native Health Consortium runs a great channel

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.

Rocky Boy 2018

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.)

And here’s the 2019 Grass Dance Finals at Little Creek
