Toastie (toastie@journa.host)'s status on Wednesday, 07-Jun-2023 12:36:38 JST Toastie This weekend I went to the High Desert Museum in Bend, #Oregon.
I did not expect it to be so big and fancy. They have a whole wing dedicated to the #Indigenous people of the Plateau tribes.

Toastie (toastie@journa.host)'s status on Wednesday, 07-Jun-2023 12:36:37 JST Toastie Museums are tricky, especially for a nerdy mixed #Native like me. At their best, they provide rich opportunities to absorb knowledge and beauty while moving through peaceful interior spaces designed to stimulate reflective contemplation.
At their worst, they are prisons for stolen treasures and perpetuate narratives benefiting those in power by, for example, framing Native people as relics of an ancient past instead of as living, contemporary people and cultures.

Toastie (toastie@journa.host)'s status on Wednesday, 07-Jun-2023 12:36:36 JST Toastie I was surprised at how thoughtful the High Desert Museum’s presentation was. It was made in collaboration with some prominent plateau families. One of my favorite things the curators did, which I’ve never seen before in a museum, was to include contemporary objects mixed in with displays of ancient practices and artworks.
For example:
In this replica tule mat tipi, there’s a basketball jacket, a camping chair and a sleeping bag, instead of cave man stuff.

Toastie (toastie@journa.host)'s status on Tuesday, 23-May-2023 13:15:44 JST Toastie Members of the American Indian Caucus describe Montana's legislative session:
“It was terrible.”
“nasty”
a “really difficult and horrible time.”
“the most hyper-partisan, super hyper-partisan session I’ve ever been in.”
"a double standard"
“walking on eggshells.”
“turbo-charged racism"
"degrading"
“feels like we’re dogs asking for scraps.”
“completely ignorant of Indigenous people in #Montana”
“They made up these rules on the spot.”

Toastie (toastie@journa.host)'s status on Tuesday, 23-May-2023 13:15:43 JST Toastie In my reporting experience, #Indigenous leaders tend to be careful and measured with their words. It's NDN culture to speak plainly and accurately, not sensationalizing with emotion or exaggeration. But also, tribal leaders are in a tough spot---if they criticize state or federal government agencies, legislators, even justifiably and accurately, that can come back and harm the community if the colonial leaders retaliate.
Which makes these remarks all the more startling.

Toastie (toastie@journa.host)'s status on Tuesday, 23-May-2023 13:15:42 JST Toastie Bravo to these #Indigenous leaders, who have to put up with a landslide of ignorance, malice, and hostile jokes year after year in the #Montana state capital. And also to reporter Nora Mabie for including these quotes, and to the Missoulian for running this without mincing words.
Also the fact that the American Indian Caucus was among the first groups to issue a formal statement in support of Rep. Zooey Zephyr is just fucking inspiring.
What a story.

Toastie (toastie@journa.host)'s status on Monday, 22-May-2023 00:00:42 JST Toastie I have never learned how to spell the word "cushions" and at this point---writing career be damned---I simply refuse.
I spell it so badly, and not on purpose, that it autocorrects to "cousins" and I have to google a couch to figure it out.

Toastie (toastie@journa.host)'s status on Friday, 05-May-2023 13:40:49 JST Toastie There are a lot of little moments and details to love in this story. Like this one:
"Halibut, salmon, seals and whales sustained them — an entire nation — and made them wealthy."
Most non-Native writers describe past and present Natives in terms of 'survival,' even though prior to colonization, many of our nations were wealthy. Woolington, though she's non-Native, eschews that pitfall.
The same sentence also effortlessly evokes the abundance of sea life under Makah care.

This week, a group of #Ryukyu Uchinaanchus is at the United Nations Permanent Forum on #Indigenous Issues calling for urgent intervention."
