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.
