So, we had the redemption of <a href="http://nativeappropriations.blogspot.com/2012/09/paul-frank-powwow-party-update-am-i.html" target="_blank">Paul Frank</a>, followed by No Doubt's release of the clueless <a href="http://www.zimbio.com/Beyond+the+Charts/articles/9R3lyY18o5j/No+Doubt+Looking+Hot+Controversy+Anyone+Win" target="_blank">“Looking Hot” video</a> and subsequent <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/04/entertainment-us-nodoubt-apology-idUSBRE8A30KU20121104" target="_blank">apology</a>. (Can someone please tell me why Gwen Stefani is throwing a coup stick?) Finally, <a href="http://nativeappropriations.blogspot.com/2012/11/guess-we-can-add-victorias-secret-to.html" target="_blank">Victoria's Secret</a> got into the act. Then, after receiving the
loving e-mails of our people and allies, they issued their own <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2012/11/victorias-secret-apologizes-to-native-americans/" target="_blank">apologies</a> (just in
time for us to take advantage of the Panty Party sale, I might add.)<br />
<br />
I, like you, have read a lot of “Lighten up, people!” comments. So, in the interest of lightening up, I searched the internet for some really ridiculous headdresses we could all point at, laugh, and feel better about ourselves because we never left the house in these monstrosities.</div>

What's sad about all this is that we have a large, active Native Community here. I wonder how many walked by this booth and thought, "Wow, that's <i>bad</i>." I'm not so much offended as I am annoyed. It would have been so easy for the artist to ask someone, "Do you think it's too much?" <br />

</div>
If your "Indigenous Solidarity" group has no NDNs in it; if you have to work Real Hard to find an NDN person, any NDN person, to come speak to your group; and this search involves sending way-too-personal messages to strangers on the Internet...<b> you have a problem.</b><br /><br /> If the members of your all-white group think they are showing "solidarity" by speaking in a subcultural patois of Newage Bafflegab crossed with TontoSpeak...<i><b> </b></i><b>you have a problem.</b><br /><br /> If your all-white, "Indigenous Solidarity" group has been meeting for six months and still hasn't met any NDNs....<i> </i><b>really, you guys have a problem.</b><br /><br />If your white members find an NDN who is kind enough to speak with them, and you then insist on representing that NDN to the rest of the all-white group, instead of letting them speak for themselves....<b> you Really. Have. A. Problem.<br /></b><br />
If your all-white members then battle it out amongst themselves, sobbing at the NDN about your feelings, and trying to out-TontoSpeak the others in an effort to earn the right to speak for All NDNs Everywhere (because you spoke to one, single NDN who is still just a stranger from the Internet), while the NDN themself goes ignored and unwelcomed when they show up to speak with your group.... <b>Seriously, you have such a serious problem,</b> it's not going to work out for you. You might as well admit it now and just go back to being full-blown newage pretendians instead of trying to don the sheepskin camouflage of pretend activism, thinking the experienced activists won't smell you coming a mile away.<br /><br /> Oh yeah, and the NDNs you insulted, objectified and tokenized. They're pretty pissed at you. And laughing at you. And telling their friends. And relatives. And Elders. Just so you know.<br />

The following descreption is taken from the band's <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Indians/111202882280453?sk=info">facebook page</a>:<br />
<i>This "The Indians “BIG CHIEF” (Raymond Kelly), is lead singer and his stage name is <span style="background-color: yellow;">GERONIMO</span>. He is one of the finest vocalists in the business. Other members of the band are Eamonn (<span style="background-color: yellow;">Sitting Bull</span>) on keyboards, Kevin (<span style="background-color: yellow;">Long Arrow</span>) on drums, Brian (<span style="background-color: yellow;">Crazy Horse</span>) on bass guitar, and Tommy (<span style="background-color: yellow;">Dull Knife</span>) on lead guitar.</i><br />

<i> </i>Rob Schmidt<span style="background-color: yellow;"></span> at <a href="http://newspaperrock.bluecorncomics.com/2010/06/most-racist-musical-group-ever.html">Newspaper Rock</a> has wrote about band last year, explaining why this kind of "lager-western" (similar to spaghetti-western but with more freckles) stage show is wrong.

Of course, the guy turned out be a middle-age, balding, overweight, divorced, retail manager. Okay, he <i>was</i> nice. However, when I asked him about his much touted art collection, it turned out he collected Thomas Kinkade - <i>Painter of light</i>. You can imagine how fun it was for my husband to watch me squirm and discuss "The Art of Thomas Kinkade" with a straight face. No, my friend and the guy didn't work out. Amazingly, she decided he was "a loser" completely on her own and without taking his "art collection" into consideration. Anyway, I'm pretty sure he has this thing on a side table near his floral couch.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br />

So, I spent the weekend in Oklahoma. I used to live there so, you'd think I'd be used to it. However, I'm always shocked by Oklahoma's love/hate relationship with it's Indigenous population. They advertise it as "Native America". However, when it comes to respecting actual Native Americans, well, that's a different story. In Oklahoma, nowhere is safe from "Awful".<br />

<i>Felis domesticus</i>, aka the house cat, is not indigenous to the United States, so you'll never find images like the one above in cave drawings. It is said traders and explorers first brought cats over on their ships. Even so, the "crazy white lady's pet" has found a place in Native America. Natives love their cats. Rez Cats are just as prevalent and tough as Rez Dogs. Where there are Native who love cats, or, more likely, white people who love Natives and cats, there is a market for Native American "inspired" cat schlock.<br />

</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you said, "Yes!" to these questions, there's a good chance that the Unicorn is your "power animal"! </span><br />

You'd think at her prices, $295 a person for weekend conference, she could afford some real moccasins. You can find more crazy on her <a href="http://littlegrandmother.net/default.aspx">website.</a> She claims to be the "Shaman" for the Salish and Sioux tribes. Sioux tribes? As in <i>all</i> of them? Obviously, that would never happen since "Shamans" are from Siberia.</span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here's a little note of explanation for my Non-Native friends: If for some reason you find yourself attracted to Native American religious practices, please stop and consider why that is. There are plenty of Pagan and Neo-Pagan paths you can follow. Pagans throw great parties. You can revere the Earth without disrespecting Indigenous people. If you still feel drawn to Native beliefs don't expect to be welcomed. Let me clue you in a small detail, religions that don't teach of eternal damnation have no motivation to share with you. Besides that, Native Religious practices were illegal in this country until 1978. People have suffered to keep that hand hold on their culture. Please, don't act entitled to it.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">I asked my friend, Choctaw Activist and writer, Ben Carnes for his thoughts on the subject. Here's what he had to say:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">"There are no quick fixes to the problems they encounter in their daily lives until they are willing to change certain aspects of their life. Our religion or spirituality isn't really either, it is a way of life that doesn't come modular in any shape or form.<br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Once someone has mixed and matched for their own agenda's, then it loses its meaning and significance as was originally intended. Which is one of the reasons, you will never find it on the marketplace as a seminar, workshop or even a book. If they pay for a weekend retreat, then it just becomes the beginning of a scam to boost someone's status or pocketbook, or even to take sexual advantage of another.<br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">The people who have complained that we don't share have not been listening to us, because they don't want to hear what it is we have been saying, so until they slow down and stop to listen, they will never proceed any further and there are no short-cuts!<br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">When Native people come out and complain or protest about the actions of frauds like Keisha Crowther or myths about the Rainbow Warrior Prophecy, instead of marginalizing Native people, maybe stop and consider there is merit to their arguments. Otherwise, they will have joined the ranks of exploiters who will bring harm to others."</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><br />

Navajo artist, Monty Singer has all of the talent and none of the ego. Monty has never had any formal art training. He learned his craft by watching his father, artist Ed Singer. Monty told <a href="http://www.navajonationfair.com/">Navajo Nation Fair</a>, “I was inspired mostly while growing up and watching my father paint and draw. As a kid I used to sit and watch him work on these giant oil paintings.” Stylistically, his Father's influence can not be denied.<br />

When Monty was a teenager, he walked away from art and didn't come back to it for fifteen years. During that period of artistic void, he spent four years in the Marines and worked over thirty jobs. At the age of 31, he finally accepted his role as an artist. “After some time in the Marine Corps and drifting around from job to job, mostly getting fired, I came to realize making art is all I’m really qualified to do,” Monty said in the Navajo Nation Fair interview. <br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> Monty treats his painting like a job, often spending eight or more hours a day in his tiny studio, only stopping for meal breaks. The results of his dedication are amazing. Monty Singer's work reflects a richness and depth that can not be duplicated. His color usage borders on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauvism">Fauvism</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisionism">Divisionist</a>, but somehow, his subjects still glow with realism. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Even when those subjects make uncomfortable, such as in pieces like <b>Turned On</b> which can be viewed at <a href="http://www.montysingerart.com/">www.montysingerart.com</a> (NFSW). <b>Turned On</b> features a blond white woman, the perpetual "all-American" standard for beauty and desire, seeming to fall though a Navajo rug with strategically placed, very realistic screws. It is both detached and violent yet can be interpreted as revealing unspoken truths about the objectification of women and the commodification of culture.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />

His popular series of Betty Page portraits feature Navajo rugs that might hang on the walls of wealthy art collectors along with Michigan J. Frog and even the legendary trickster coyote. My unqualified art-school dropout self interprets it as, "Good sense tells us to turn around when a coyote crosses our path, but when there's a hot girl on that path, the inner conflict begins and opens the door for self-destructive decisions."</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Don't put Monty in box, though.

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Strip him of labels and Monty is still a damned good artist. His portraits and classical nudes, they can be viewed at <a href="http://www.montysingerart.com/index.html">www.montysingerart.com</a>, are lovingly and flawlessly executed. His use a of light and shadow reflect mood with having to even see the faces of his models.

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">His Navajo portraits, however, are beyond comparison.

1. Go to the remnant bin at your local fabric store, look for scraps of ultra-suede. For an even more authentic look, use an old leather jacket or pants purchased at the goodwill. If you go that route, use a thimble! (I learned that the hard way!)<br />
2. Use your snag's underpants as a pattern (you know you kept a pair, don't lie) or follow this <a href="http://www.threadbanger.com/post/999/how-to-make-a-hot-bikini-out-of-old-t-shirts">tutorial</a>. The tutorial is for a t-shirt bikini, so if you can't find ultra-suede you can sacrifice your old <a href="http://www.demockratees.com/">demockratees.</a><br />
3. Use your scraps to make fringe. If you are feeling lazy, go to Walmart and buy a yard of it. (Pick up your snag a box of chocolates while you're there!)<br />
<br />
