Boujou!
As I was putting together the stories for today's edition, I noticed two distinct and interrelated patterns emerging: themes of imagery and identity, intertwining, diverging, separating and merging again at different points along the continuum of what it means to be Indian in 2013.
There are many other stories out there right now, true, and they are important. But so are these — and despite the fact that the corporate media would regard these topics as "not hard news," that's incorrect. Today's stories encompass the existential conundrum of being Indian today, the requirement that we walk in two worlds at every moment of our lives when one of those worlds has done its damnedest to exterminate the other, and failing that, still actively works to neutralize its existence. And they do so in an equally dualistic way: in the public perception of who and what we are and what sovereignty and autonomy we have over that identity; and in the most private, intimate of spaces, in our own image of ourselves, both as individuals and as part of the collective culture labeled "Indian."
To that end, I'm leading with what other coverage would relegate to the "C" Section of the newspaper. It's a story about asserting and affirming ownership of our identities and images, and doing so in a way that forces the dominant culture to face us in all our beautiful, complex diversity.
NAVAJO WOMAN FILMMAKER SMASHES STEREOTYPES WITH DRUNKTOWN'S FINEST
I would never have thought that I'd lead an edition with a story about a movie about Indians with the title of Drunktown's Finest.
But based on what I know of the film so far, it's got my full support, title and all.
The filmmaker is Sydney Freeland (Navajo), from Gallup, New Mexico, now living in Albuquerque. She's developed or been involved in the creation of a number of other projects, but Drunktown's Finest is the one she calls "a labor of love." It's also been in the works for seven years (and despite being accepted by the 2009 Sundance Film Lab and the 2010 Screenwriter's and Director's Labs, is still seeking full financing via Kickstarter).
The project was born out of the ashes of a national news report that slandered Gallup, along with its significant Indian population. In Ms. Freeland's own words:
When I was growing up I saw a news piece on ABC's 20/20 describing my hometown as "Drunktown, USA". This film is my effort to defy that judgement of my community. With your support my film will show the world that label was wrong, and that my community has complexity, dimension and hope.
The project has a Facebook page, as well, and the individual postings there are especially interesting. In one, Ms. Freeland points out that of the entire cast of 36 actors, 32 are American Indian — 18 Navajo, 2 Zuni, and 12 from other tribal nations. That is, frankly, an astounding cast ratio.
As important as the cast and production itself are, equally important is the storyline. It's an effort to show the dominant culture what it means to be Indian in the 21st Century — and what Indian Gallup actually is. Which is to say, like any other municipality, it's not all alcoholism and violence and dysfunction: It's a community of real people, with fully three-dimensional lives that include love, joy, pain, sadness, and all the layers of human emotion and complexity found anywhere and everywhere in the world.
The plotline follows the daily lives of three young Navajo adults who have learned that they are in line to become the next generation of medicine persons for their people. One is young woman who had fully converted to Christianity; one is a young man (Breaking Bad's Jeremiah Bitsui) who has also just learned that he is about to become a father, like it or not and ready or not; and one is a young transgendered woman who will have to learn to call upon her people's traditions to take her place as a Nádleeh (a Two-Spirit, or member of the LGBTQI community).
Particularly encouraging is the casting of (and storyline involving) Carmen Moore, the transgendered woman actor who plays Felixia, a transgendered woman character. Many Native cultures have historically understood and respected the fact that gender identity and sexual orientation exist at a multitude of points and interstices along a continuum. Too many, however, have had much of that knowledge excised by post-Contact conversion and immersion in the bigotries of the contemporary dominant culture. The role of Felixia reportedly attempts to recapture the respect with which the Diné have traditional regarded those who serve their people as Nádleeh, placed firmly in the context of all the micro- and macro-aggressions that Carmen Moore and other members of Native LGBTQI communities must navigate on a daily basis.
As noted above, Drunktown's Finest is still seeking funding to bring filming to completion. Right now, Ms. Freeland and her crew are racing to beat the deadline for acceptance into the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. To that end, she has launched a Kickstarter project to try to close the financial gap; only seven days remain on the current campaign. Tomorrow is Ms. Freeland's 33rd birthday; if you're inclined to show your appreciation, you can give her a birthday present by supporting the film project here.

NATIVE SPOUSES CIRCUMVENT OKLAHOMA'S HOMOPHOBIC MARRIAGE EQUALITY BAN VIA TRIBAL JURISDICTION
Darren Black Bear, a member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma, is a gay man. he and his [non-Native] fiancé, Jason Pickel, have been together for nine years. Soon, they will be getting married.
In Oklahoma.
A state that has banned marriage equality.
How? Because the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma, more enlightened than the state they call home, permit marriage within their tribal jurisdiction between any two consenting and otherwise competent adults, provided that at least one is an enrolled tribal member. And so Mr. Black Bear is able to use the tribal legal system of his own people to circumvent the state's rampant institutionalized homophobia, and marry the love of his life.
The couple had planned to travel to Iowa in the coming months to get married. But Mr. Pickel thought it worth a call to the tribal government, and learned that because his fiancé was an enrolled tribal member, they could indeed get married under tribal law for the price of a $20 marriage license. This makes the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma the seventh known tribal government to have institutionalized marriage equality.
Of course, the state of Oklahoma will not recognize their marriage — for now. That will change, as the arc of justice (and not a few political and financial disincentives) plus the Full Faith and Credit Clause force the state, along with all others, to do the right thing. But for now, such a marriage should be recognized by the federal government. That will provide significant tangible benefits to the couple and their relationship, in addition to the psychic benefits of having their relationship recognized as the marriage that it is.
They expect the wedding to be officiated by Mr. Black Bear's own father, Floyd Black Bear, who is a minister and a former member of the tribal council.
"I'm not like a lot of ministers, judgmental. I have an open mind. I believe that God loves us regardless and he's given us his love so we have to share that," Floyd Black Bear said.
They also are not the only couple to avail themselves of the tribal government's willingness to issue a marriage license. Two other couples have done likewise, and one of them is already married.
Darren Black Bear hopes that his people are in the vanguard of a movement.
"The fact that the Cheyenne [and] Arapaho Tribes here in Oklahoma are progressive enough to follow federal guidelines, I'm pretty sure that [others will] start issuing marriage licenses within their tribes. I'm hopeful they will," he said.
The couple pointedly invited Oklahoma Governor Marry Fallin (R), who is adamantly opposed to marriage equality, to be an honored guest at their wedding. Her office "politely declined" the invitation.
A note about what this story really means: I need to make one thing clear, because I've been seeing a lot of distortion of this story and its implications, as well as suggestions of exploiting it in ways that are impossible and even offensive.
There is one reason, and one reason only, that this marriage is taking place: Darren Black Bear is an enrolled member of the tribe in question, and the tribe therefore can assume legal jurisdiction over his marriage.
No other reason.
If the parties were Darren Blackburn, of Scots descent, and Mr. Pickel, there would be no question of them using the tribal legal system to get married. Any such request would be — and should be — denied. No tribal government exists (despite what much of the dominant culture believes) for the benefit of non-members, nor does its jurisdiction in such matters extend to non-members (absent a relationship such as this one with an enrolled member). All this talk by members of the dominant culture of "using" tribes to circumvent dominant culture laws is 1) legally impossible, and 2) culturally offensive.

More "This Week In American Indian News" & Latest Updates on Kossack Regional Meet-Up News Below the Frybead Thingey
AFTER 35 YEARS, UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON BREAKS GROUND ON LONGHOUSE FOR NATIVE STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND STAFF
Last Friday, the University of Washington broke ground on a new building on the school's main campus. That alone might not be notable outside the UW community, but for one thing: It's a longhouse.
After 35 years of lobbying and planning, Native American students, faculty, and staff at the University of Washington finally have a longhouse to call their own.
The building is being named the "Intellectual Longhouse," but in many ways, it's equally likely to be a sanctuary, a refuge.
Charlotte Coté, associate professor of American Indian Studies at UW, says she began envisioning such a building when she first arrived at UW in the 1970s.
"When I was hired at the University of Washington, I was really surprised that there wasn't a place on campus for native students faculty and staff," she says.
"You didn't even get a sense that the university had that rich cultural history of the indigenous peoples of this land," she adds.
It seems a glaring oversight for a public university system in a state that boasts 29 vibrant federally recognized Indian tribal nations. The specific plot of land on which the campus as a whole, including the new longhouse, sits is in fact Coastal Salish and Duwamish land, a culture that not only remains in the area today but has a growing, thriving culture. The new building is expected to be an homage to the architectural style of the area's indigenous peoples, with contemporary accoutrements such as wifi and other 21st-Century necessary student aids.
Despite being "in the works," so to speak, for 35 years, only the last fifth of that has been invested in concrete steps toward building the longhouse. In 2006, stakeholders mounted a concerted fundraising effort, getting commitments from UW and the state of Washington for $5 million, nearly half of the $10.6 million price tag. Twelve tribal nations also contributed funds to its development.
Friday's groundbreaking ceremony was conducted in traditional Indian fashion, accompanied by Native music, dance, and blessings by tribal spiritual elders. Construction is on a fast track, and is slated for completion by the fall of 2014.

CBS RADIO REFUSES TO AIR ONEIDA iNDIAN NATION AD OPPOSING MASCOT SLUR
As part of their public campaign to pressure Washington NFL team owner Dan Snyder to change his team's racist mascot and name, the Oneida Indian Nation planned to buy air time and run ads on two sports talk-radio stations in the D.C. market, WJFK and WPGC. Both stations are owned by CBS Radio, and both have refused to run the ads — while continuing the regular laudatory programming and news coverage of the team, and accepting the team's own advertising.
"Based on the amount of on-air debate, adding paid commercials from one side is not something that we think is beneficial for this discussion and for our audience," [senior vice president of CBS Radio Washington Steve Swenson said in an e-mail to the Oneida campaign organizers declining to air their ads].
WPGC, another station in Washington owned by CBS, also won't air the ad.
Swenson later confirmed the news to The Post and wrote in another email that, "The issue has been heavily debated on WJFK where we can provide a good balance of discussion, opinions and context to the issue through our programming. Our audience has reacted positively to that presentation, and we will continue to approach the situation keeping in-line with our audiences' expectations."
In other words, CBS Radio prefers to damage Indians by endorsing the institutionalization of an ugly racial slur rather than risk making the racists uncomfortable.
Oneida leader Ray Halbritter expressed disgust, if not surprise:
"It is unfortunate and un-American that the station permits the team to slander Native Americans on the public airwaves with the use of the r-word, but doesn't permit Native Americans to use the same airwaves to object to the use of a racial slur," he told The Post.
You can contact CBS Radio here; as always, be polite, but be direct. Money talks; letting them know that they've lost listeners over their affiliates' behavior will be most effective.
You can contact WJFK-AM here, and WJFK-FM here; you can do the same for WPGC here. As always, the same rules apply.
You can support the Oneida Indian nation's ChangetheMascot.org campaign here.
Interestingly, of all the progressive media outlets listed as supporters, Daily Kos is not among them. Perhaps that should change, too?

ESPN ANALYST LEE CORSO PERFORMS RACIST REDFACE MINSTREL SHOW.
LIVE, ON CAMERA.
[Sigh] yet another white American of Italian descent who think it's perfectly okay to dress up in redface to mock Indians.
Lakota writer Matt Remle dissects the shameful display over at lastrealindians.com:
This past weekend, on ESPN’s College Game day show, nationally known college football commentator Lee Corso made an appearance dressed as Osceola the Florida State (FSU) Seminoles mascot. Corso, who is Italian, danced on stage, like a buffoon, with a feathered spear and headdress. The segment ends with guest commentator Bill Murray “beating up” Corso and throwing his spear into the sea of crazed fans below who are cheering on the red-faced minstrel show widely.
Where to begin? The whole mess is so revolting that it's hard to believe that the network allowed him to go forward, but there had to be have been some planning involved, since he had quite the collection of redface props at the ready for his live performance.
Mr. Remle notes that the Seminole Nation permits Florida State University to use the tribal name as its mascot, and to engage in the [completely ahistorical, culturally inaccurate] pre-, halftime- and post-game shows featuring the faux Seminole warrior on horseback. Enrolled Seminole Nation member Meteor Blades has been equally clear, on multiple occasions, that the tribe did not hold a vote on the matter, so excuses to the effect that "the tribe voted to allow it" are likewise inaccurate.
Even if they had, as with the Washington and Kansas City NFL teams, the Cleveland and Atlanta MLB teams, the Chicago NHL team, and the countless teams and schools around the country, from K-12 through college, that steal and exploit Native imagery, what the Seminole Nation may or may not have done isn't really the point for Indians generally. Again, Mr. Remle shows why not:
[F]or me, as a Lakota, I would find it hard to watch a non-Native dress as Tatanka Iyotanka (Sitting Bull) and dance like a fool in front of thousands of rabid non-Indians and get beat-up by an 80′s movie star.
. . .
One of the most common responses to Native themed mascots is that they are meant to honor Native peoples. I’m not sure how a caricature like the Cleveland Indian’s Chief Wahoo honors anyone, but that hideous image aside, I’ve always found this statement to be a little suspect.
For schools that have Native themed mascots, how many of those schools actually have mascots that represent tribes of that region? Most tend to be of plains imagery. Further, in these schools, how many truly incorporate a Native historical and contemporary perspective on both history and contemporary affairs? With graduation rates between 40-60% nationally for Native students what are these schools doing to support tribal students through graduation and beyond?
The argument is also often made that there are tribal schools with Indian mascots too, which while true, you will most likely never see a gym full of Native people dressed in "Indian" costume dancing foolishly around with fake headdresses and "war-paint" tomahawk chopping and yelling "kill the Indians!" So called "imitation" does not necessarily equal "flattery."
In this case, actually, it never equals flattery. It's exploitation and it's mockery, but aside from all of that, it's also theft, and it's inherently racist. And with regard to his questions about "how many . . . ?" I don't even need to research it. The answer is none. Again, it's inherent in the dynamic. Intent doesn't matter (never mind that, for the people engaged in and endorsing such behavior, what they define as their intent and what their actual intent is are invariably two very different things).
Mr. Remle closes as follows:
Instead of falling into cliched responses we should push for a more thoughtful and constructive conversation that takes a serious look at what "honoring" Native peoples, and lands, truly looks like.
How about we start with some treaties?

KANYE WEST GINS UP MORE CONTROVERSY WITH RACIST APPROPRIATIVE IMAGERY
No Deadhead faux-defenses, please.
Yeah, I know: Kanye and controversy; news at eleven.
Apparently the controversy over naming his album Yeezus wasn't enough. Kanye West had to ratchet up the ruckus further, since apparently he hadn't offended quite enough people yet.
The artwork for the album-and-tour swag, created by New Jersey-born artist artist Wes Lang, is drawing jeers from multiple communities of color. Why? It includes a grinning death's-head skull clad in a Plains Indian-style warbonnet and bone breastplate and a Confederate flag.
It's not Lang's only foray into [in]appropriation of Native imagery. There are other examples at his blog.
But back to Kanye. The image chosen for much of the merch is the death's-head in warbonnet and breastplate. Bad enough. But to top it with "Yeezus" and print beneath the image the words "God Wants You" is particularly insulting. Yes, I know that Kanye will try to say that he's being ironic, but irony, like hipness and edginess, is actually rare. Heavy-handed unironic appropriation, on the other hand, is all too common, and this comes across about as well as the notion of forced conversions. I'm certainly not the only person to see it that way. From Danielle Miller at lastrealindians.com:
Some Natives look at this image and see the denied access to graves of their ancestors, as well as the thieving and abuse of those remains. Some could say even the text “God Wants You” is a reminder of manifest destiny and other historical trauma that Native Americans endured. The image is also reminiscent of one of our nation’s most popular cultural icons, Uncle Sam. But rather than representing the messages of war propaganda, this image represents the personification of cultural imperialism and the war on Native Identity.
Of course, Kanye's entire brand (as with that of his Kardashian fiancée) depends on controversy. Yeezus simply takes that to a wide array of targets, lobbing misogynistic slurs aimed at women of color and mocking people with Parkinson's disease.
As President Obama famously said of Kanye: "He is a jackass. But he’s talented."
But neither talent nor jackassery gets you a pass on racism and cultural appropriation.
