i think we should stop calling them baby names so people remember they’re not just naming a baby but also a future twenty seven year old with a resume
that’s why bella called her kid resume right away
white people please just purchase native artwork and jewelry from native people i keep seeing idiot white people be like “waaah i wish i could support native creators but its cultural appropriation” girl why would beaders sell you their earrings then. just dont get a medicine wheel or a thunderbird then like damn it is that easy
If Native folks are making it to sell to white people with the approval of their tribe, it’s not “appropriation”–its support and appreciation! So yes, buy that native-made dream catcher, but not the mass produced fakes made by white people. Like, you can go to a pow wow and buy native crafts there, too.
here are some places to get native/indigenous goods and merch online if you can’t find something local or if physical access is an obstacle:

https://redplanetbooksncomics.com/This semester in college we’ve been working with a company in an indigenous museum to help their sales
They work with native artists in all of Brazil, so the site is in portuguese
Buying from indigenous artists is not appropriation!
Just gonna shamelessly promote my cousins shop here
I don’t know who needs to hear this but there is a difference between jokingly mispronouncing a fictional characters name and purposefully mispronouncing a real person’s name.
Please go touch some grass.

Ok but hear me out: Native American Brady Bunch.
Here’s the story of a Native lady
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls.
All of them had long ass hair, like their mother,
The youngest one in braids.It’s the story of a man who’s ruddy
Who was living with 3 boys of his own.
They are warriors, standing all together,
No one ever walks alone.‘Till the one day that this lady met this fellow.
And they felt in theirs hearts it was a sign.
That this group, would somehow form a family.
That’s the way we all became a tribe of nine.
Been finishing up my thesis, so haven’t had a lot of time to work on anything else! Here’s a quick Jean sketch to apologize for my absence 🙏
It’s not the most original painting. I’ve done similar paintings before but whatever. I’m doing this for fun anyways so it doesn’t matter.
The gaang!
