Part I. My origin story is a cross between "Call Me Ishmael" a few too many whiskey sours packed in an old thermos at the drive-in double feature, and that little voice that says, "you got this". Bury my heart at Chuck E. Cheese's ; Headlines -- Part II. Instead of a "raised by wolves" t-shirt, mine says "raised by functional alcoholics with intimacy phobias & low self-esteem".

First world (story) problems: Brown girl multiple choice edition ; Tweets as assigned texts for a Native American studies course ; Ghoul, Interrupted -- Part IV.

"Shill the Pretendian, Unfav the Genuine" is the 2018 remix of "Kill the Indian, Save the Man". Red like me: I knew Rachel Dolezal back when she was Indigenous ; A list of alternative identities to try for fun and profit ; I have white bread privilege ; Things pseudo-native authors have claimed to be but actually are not ; You might be a pretendian -- Part VIII. I watched Woman Walks Ahead and frankly was offended by the cookie-cutter stereotypical portrayal of the menacing white soldier. Reel Indians don't eat quiche: The fight for authentic roles in Hollywood ; Are you there, Christmas? It's me, Carol! ; Post-election U.S open in racist tirades competition ; West Wing world -- Part IX. The Native Americans used every part of the sacred turkey.
