Fun fact! The names in my #comic were taken from my own #familyhistory OR yanked from the Baker Roll (the Dawes roll of the Eastern Cherokee).
If I yanked your ancestors name, I hope they're proud? 😅

I spend a copious amount of time trying to capture the emotion of complete agony. Large swaths of my story are just about feeling hella sad.
Kinda seems like it should be depressing, but somehow it's...therapeutic?

#tattoos are an #indigenous right - and anyone who looks at my tattoos and says "how do you plan to get a good job?" should stop and ask themselves why it's an accepted truth that tattoos are incompatible with "professionalism".
Spoilers: it's racism. It's always racism.

Just watched the Jon Stewart interview of Maria Ressa, and when she said "colonialism didn't die, it just moved online", my #indigenous brain melted.

My prologue was inspired by watching Westerns with my granddad. It was always Natives attacking "innocent" civilians. I would sit and wonder why they were doing it. They had to have a reason.
So, years later, I made a comic about exactly why someone would do that. #justindigenousthings

I have acquired a raw deer hide. I have no idea what to do with it now that I have it - I'm counting on my indigenous ancestors to like, jump in here. Or my Finnish ones, those work too.
