Nurse Shasta sent me a link to the Native comedy group the 1491s a while back, and I particularly enjoyed this video, a satire about the casting of Natives for the Twilight movies. For those who don't know, there's a tribe of Native Americans (specifically the Quieluete tribe) who are werewolves. In the movie, I mean, not in real life. I mean, they're not werewolves in real life. Anyway, the 1491s made this video and it made me laugh a lot. Since the last of the Twilight movies is out now, I thought I would share it:
If you're interested in the Native point of view on things, here are three places you should take a look:
1) My friend
Mark Charles. And ESPECIALLY if you live in the Washington, D.C. area you should consider attending the
Conversation for Reconciliation on December 19th.
2) A great book I read recently is
On the Rez
by Ian Frazier.
3) You might also enjoy
One Church, Many Tribes by
Richard Twiss.
1. Mark Charles is awesome, as is his blog, and I wish i lived near D.C. so I could go.
ReplyDelete2. I'm pretty sure that the best part of this video is the credits...and his dance/war calls during them...hahahaaaaaaaaa
Yeah. I like the part where they refuse to apologize for their sexiness. Ha ha ha.
