you can watch content from creators who will be genuinely really good about not making racist jokes until it's "we're having a powwow" or "______ is my spirit animal" 😒

“Grand Entry,” oil on canvas by Melwell, 12x9 - Call Parsons Gallery of the West at +1-575-737-9200
Bright, expressive painting titled Grand Entry depicting a Native American powwow imagined as a cosmic ascent. In the foreground, sweeping curved forms suggest a ceremonial arena or drum, rendered in warm tans and ochres with bold dark outlines. Along the ridges are stylized Native figures in colorful regalia—reds, purples, yellows, blues—arranged like a procession in motion, evoking the Grand Entry of a powwow. Above them, white clouds fill a vivid blue sky. A UFO-like craft hovers overhead, with multicolored beams lifting figures upward, suggesting Native people ascending into space. The scene blends tradition and futurism, ceremonial gathering and science-fiction imagery, in a joyful, visionary style.

'when my brother was an aztec' by natalie diaz

when's the last time you read a collection of poetry? it's probably been too long! so go ahead and rectify that with this amazing and brutal and bountiful collection from natalie diaz
'when my brother was an aztec' by natalie diaz The cover shows a shirtless man in cargo shorts and a headdress glowering on a couch When My Brother Was an Aztec he lived in our basement and sacrificed my parents every morning. It was awful. Unforgivable. But they kept coming back for more. They loved him, was all they could say. It started with him stumbling along la Avenida de los Muertos, my parents walking behind like effigies in a procession he might burn to the ground at any moment. They didn't know what else to do except be there to pick him up when he died. They forgot who was dying, who was already dead. My brother quit wearing shirts when a carnival of dirty-breasted women made him their leader, following him up and down the stairs-They were acrobats, moving, twitching like snakes They fed him crushed diamonds and fire. He gobbled the gifts. My parents begged him to pluck their eyes out. He thought he was Huitzilopochtli, a god, half-man half-hummingbird. My parents at his feet, wrecked honeysuckles, he lowered his swordlike mouth, gorged on them, draining color until their eyebrows whitened. My brother shattered and quartered them before his basement festivals-waved their shaking hearts in his fists, while flea-ridden dogs ran up and down the steps, licking their asses, turning tricks. Neighbors were amazed my parents' hearts kept growing back-It said a lot about my parents, or parents' hearts. My brother flung them into cenotes, dropped them from cliffs, punched holes into their skulls like useless jars or vases, broke them to pieces and fed them to gods ruling the ratty crotches of street fair whores with pocked faces spreading their thighs in flophouses with no electricity. He slept in filthy clothes smelling of rotten peaches and matches, fell in love with sparkling spoonfuls the carnival dog-women fed him. My parents lost their appetites for food, for sons. Like all bad kings, my brother wore a crown, a green baseball cap turned backwards with a Mexican flag embroidered on it. When he wore it in the front yard, which he treated like his personal zócalo, all his realm knew he had the power that day, had all the jewels a king could eat or smoke or shoot. The slave girls came to the fence and ate out of his hands. He fed them maíz through the chain links. My parents watched from the window, crying over their house turned zoo, their son who was now a rusted cage. The Aztec held court in a salt cedar grove across the street where peacocks lived. My parents crossed fingers so he'd never come back, lit novena candles so he would. He always came home with turquoise and jade feathers and stinking of peacock shit. My parents gathered what he'd left of their bodies, trying to stand without legs, trying to defend his blows with missing arms, searching for their fingers to pray, to climb out of whatever dark belly my brother, the Aztec, their son, had fed them to. Abecedarian Requiring Further Examination of Anglikan Seraphym Subjugation of a Wild Indian Rezervation Angels don't come to the reservation. Bats, maybe, or owls, boxy mottled things. Coyotes, too. They all mean the same thing- death. And death eats angels, I guess, because I haven't seen an angel fly through this valley ever. Gabriel? Never heard of him. Know a guy named Gabe though- he came through here one powwow and stayed, typical Indian. Sure he had wings, jailbird that he was. He flies around in stolen cars. Wherever he stops, kids grow like gourds from women's bellies. Like I said, no Indian I've ever heard of has ever been or seen an angel. Maybe in a Christmas pageant or something Nazarene church holds one every December, organized by Pastor John's wife. It's no wonder Pastor John's son is the angel everyone knows angels are white. Quit bothering with angels, I say. They're no good for Indians. Remember what happened last time some white god came floating across the ocean? Truth is, there may be angels, but if there are angels up there, living on clouds or sitting on thrones across the sea wearing velvet robes and golden rings, drinking whiskey from silver cups, we're better off if they stay rich and fat and ugly and ' xactly where they are in their own distant heavens. You better hope you never see angels on the rez. If you do, they'll be marching you off to Zion or Oklahoma, or some other hell they've mapped out for us.

Nah. This exactly. Stand up as one, then make the motion of everyone turning their backs. Native Americans do this to idiots we ain't playing with, and it's a powerful thing to behold.

The government will be mad, but, fuck em. Do this, and you are all invited to the powwow.
