Thing About Skins and Other Curios. THINGABOUTSKINS.COM coming soon! Repost: Litefoot an Example of Natives Succeeding. So I truly appreciate folks who go out of their way to NOT let those excuses get in the way of them achieving. There’s many examples of success within our communities–on my behalf, I’m gonna try to do a better job of celebrating those. Litefoot is but one of those examples. Ever expanding his outreach, Litefoot has recently started work on an inspirational book, The Medicine of Prayer, ...

Thing About Skins and Other Curios. THINGABOUTSKINS.COM coming soon! Repost: When Non-Native Participation in Pow-Wows Goes Terribly Wrong. From nativeappropriations.blogspot.com. This is hilarious–my repost doesn’t do it justice. Go to the Native Appropriations site to see the pictures for yourself. Funny thing? I’m sure there was some John Redcorn-esque Native dude that let them join his tribe…. 8221; “Of course! 8221; the girls replied with excitement…. If these girls survived a talking-to by Winona (...

Thing About Skins and Other Curios. THINGABOUTSKINS.COM coming soon! Repost: YOU CAN TELL THE LEADERS BY THE ARROWS IN THEIR BACKS. I wish I would’ve thought of this title. Wow. From http:/ prairiemary.blogspot.com/. Said Gyasi, . . . frankly, it seemed somewhat cowardly for someone to criticize a person for doing a good thing that they were unwilling to do themselves. . . In my estimation, this Native woman [Eloise] is a hero, a warrior. So Eloise is a two-fold heroine, first for facing down the governm...

I don’t know Jr. at all, but I’ve been an admirer for awhile. That’s right Mr. Redwater, you have a stalker. A big Blackfeet stalker. Scary. Change your locks. Hide your woman (ayyyeezzzz! JR, however, is my favorite (for now! I’m fickle and always willing to change for cheap flattery! He doesn’t rush a punchline. He doesn’t impatiently wait for...I’m not...

Thing About Skins and Other Curios. THINGABOUTSKINS.COM coming soon! Earth Day 2010/Vine Deloria Jr. Tribute. I try not to be too much of a name-dropper, but I will do so here shamelessly. This name-drop story involves one of my heroes, someone who was not my friend (I wish! But still someone who shaped the way I think, write and believe. So he was essentially a god to me; a Native nerd’s man-crush. In college, I happened upon Vine’s email address. Wow! I had power in my hands. Looking Disgusted At Me.

UGH: January 2011
http://breakfastattiphanys.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 11, 2011. Is 'Native Erotica' an oxymoron? I wanted to compile a list of Native publications with erotica as a theme. A few years ago, the erotic seemed to be conspicuously absent from the body of contemporary Native literature, as it were. Or it didn't have a large presence among the critical discourse or perspectives. Interestingly enough, it was vital and present in two-spirit writings; the first writer that comes to mind is Chrystos. Ojibway author Drew Hayden Taylor. Indigenous Erot...

UGH: Trilling!
http://breakfastattiphanys.blogspot.com/2012/04/trilling.html
Friday, April 13, 2012. Today I was thrilled (trill-worthy! To see Dine author and fellow co-editor Natanya Ann Pulley's " An Open Letter to Johnny Depp's Tonto. Published in McSweeney's Internet Tendency. This is major coup (yes, a pun! For Native writers; we don't often see our names published in mainstream publications and most certainly not in this context- a letter of protest, but a really scathingly funny, clever and dare I say, non-confrontational, letter of protest. Slime, or maybe her lunch?

Wednesday, January 02, 2013. Is a literary space for women of the world. Letter from the Editors. With so many stories, words, and visions represented, it felt natural to begin the journal with a creative work that resembled a prayer. Osborn writes “this is how all stories begin,. Just as the landscape is integral to “Dawn,” we have included other pieces that are firmly grounded in specific geographies. In Kao’s creative non-fiction essay “Roots and Leaves”. 8221; where we are presented with a complex se...
