LAWTON, OKLA. – February 6, 2024 – On Saturday, 3 February 2024, following a long and heated Comanche Business Council Meeting, Comanche Nation passed Resolution 23-2024 opposing the Westwin Elements cobalt-nickel refinery proposed for Lawton, Oklahoma. Exerting the environmental jurisdiction they established decades ago to protect the region, and standing firm on their traditional boundaries, Comanche Nation also called for suspension of Chairman Mark Woommavovah, who gave the project his blessing. He later issued an apology and shifted blame to the city. Emails were presented during Saturday’s meeting that directly linked the Chairman to Westwin Elements, countering his claims to the opposite. The Resolution was introduced by Comanche Nation Vice Chairman Dr. Cornel Pewewardy. Saturday’s historic Resolution came just hours after a 5.1 magnitude earthquake – among the largest in state history. Some residents opposed to Westwin’s plant say the area’s vulnerability to earthquakes, flooding and tornados – Lawton is located in “Tornado Alley” – make it an especially dangerous site for an experimental refinery. Westwin Resistance also noted the explosion risks of the proposed refinery, which would be the first of its kind in the US, during last week’s massive gas pipeline explosion near Elmwood.  Local tribal citizens and residents have been fighting the refinery from the beginning, and recently formed a group called Westwin Resistance. The group’s 5 Reasons to Say “NO” to Westwin highlights dangers to the health of humans, animals and the environment, lack of transparency with tribal and community members, false promises of high-paying jobs, and the company’s complete lack of experience to build the first-ever cobalt refinery in the United States.

Notes from National Geographic 'Atlas of Indian Nations', p. :

Notable cases of multi-tribal resistance:

The Ottawa chief Pontiac brought more than a dozen tribes together in 1763 and together they burnt down nine of eleven British forts.

Tecumseh was a Shawnee Chief who also brought tribes together to fight the European settlers, but he lost his life in battle.

In the Plains, the Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapho often worked together against American invasion.

The Apache fought alone.

Resistance rarely did anything than buy a little time before the inevitable engulfment of European expansion.

Campamento Apache, Río San Carlos, Arizona. Niños y hombres Apaches San Carlos fuera de sus wickiups, en un campamento a orillas del Río San Carlos, Arizona. Fotografía tomada por George Ben Wittick entre 1880 - 1890. Actualmente la Reserva India de los Apaches San Carlos abarca 1,8 millón de hectáreas de tierras vírgenes extendidas a través de tres regiones de territorio de montaña, desierto y paisajes de la meseta. Los Apaches son descendientes de la familia Athabascana, que emigró hacia el suroeste en el Siglo X. Más tarde, cuando se iban estableciendo las reservas, las bandas de Apaches que fueron colocadas en San Carlos, se convirtieron en una tribu reconocida como "the San Carlos Apache" (los Apaches San Carlos). Hoy en día, la Reserva de los Apaches San Carlos es el hogar de aproximadamente 12.000 Apaches, con una abundancia de recursos naturales y un rico patrimonio cultural.

I really wish the part of unsouled with the tashi'nes was like... Remotely interesting. But i didnt read unstrung, and i dont care about these characters at all. They're so boring which is sad cause of all the stuff with them should've been introduced in unwind or unwholly,

#im kinda dubious on the whole spirit animal thing. i cant find much research connecting that concept to the apache or Arapahoe tribes. #which makes me seriously uncomfortable on whether proper research was done #so that makes me extra uneasy #i might skip these parts cause i also think cam is dreadfully boring #unwind #unwind dystology

Ok, so I have two pieces of turquoise jewelry that my great grandmother bought directly from one of the indigenous artists of Arizona or Nevada. She loved supporting small indigenous businesses, especially when she’d visit those two places, but because she visited quite a few different locations in those states, I don’t know which tribe the artist who made these silver and turquoise pieces are from. I wish I could ask my Great Grandmother because if she was still alive she would love to tell me her experiences in Arizona and Nevada and all the unique artists and jewelry makers she found. Does anyone know if there’s a way to tell what tribe a piece of jewelry is from based on design? Here are the pictures:

I know for a fact it’s genuine turquoise and silver (that I’m afraid to polish because most polishing products are too harsh to come near to to turquoise).

BTW: I am not from an indigenous heritage so I can’t really ask my family cause they’re all mixed white and Latin American like me.

Monty Alexander featuring Ernest Ranglin: “Love And Happiness” b/w “Yellow Bird” (1974)

Two takes from their Rass! collaboration (1974), but we’re going right for the A-side “Love And Happiness” because A Tribe Called Quest sampled this for Apache’s “Gangsta Bitch”. It’s a head-shaker that he’s mainly remembered only for that one single, but no doubt it’s all good feels.

Sacheen Littlefeather (Apache/Yaqui/Ariz.), the Native American actress and activist who took to the stage at the 1973 Academy Awards to reveal that Marlon Brando would not accept his Oscar for The Godfather, has died. She was 75.

Littlefeather died at noon Sunday at her home in the Northern California city of Novato surrounded by her loved ones, according to a statement sent out by her caretaker. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which reconciled with Littlefeather in June and hosted a celebration in her honor just two weeks ago, revealed the news on social media Sunday night.

Littlefeather disclosed in March 2018 that she had been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, and it had metastasized in recent years. Brando had decided to boycott the March 1973 Oscars in protest of how Native Americans were portrayed onscreen as well as to pay tribute to the ongoing occupation at Wounded Knee, in which 200 members of the American Indian Movement (AIM) faced off against thousands of U.S. marshals and other federal agents in the South Dakota town. Speaking in measured tones but off-the-cuff — Brando, who told her not to touch the trophy, had given her a typed eight-page speech, but telecast producer Howard Koch informed her she had no more than 60 seconds — she continued, “And the reasons for this being are the treatment of American Indians today by the film industry … and on television in movie reruns, and also with recent happenings at Wounded Knee.” Littlefeather’s remarks were met in the building by a smattering of boos as well as applause, but public sentiment in the immediate aftermath of her appearance was largely negative. Some media outlets questioned her Native heritage (her father was Apache and Yaqui and her mother was white) and claimed she rented her costume for the ceremony, while conservative celebrities including John Wayne, Clint Eastwood and Charlton Heston — three actors who had starred in many a Western — reportedly criticized Brando and Littlefeather’s actions. As she was becoming an indelible part of Oscar lore, Wayne “was in the wings, ready to have me taken off stage,” she told the Los Angeles Times in 2016. “He had to be restrained by six security guards.” 

Regardless, nearly 50 years later, the Academy issued her an apology.

“The abuse you endured because of this statement was unwarranted and unjustified,” then-AMPAS president David Rubin wrote to her in a letter dated June 18. “The emotional burden you have lived through and the cost to your own career in our industry are irreparable. For too long the courage you showed has been unacknowledged. For this, we offer both our deepest apologies and our sincere admiration.”

Although Brando’s stunt had the intended effect of renewing attention on Wounded Knee, Littlefeather said it put her life at risk and killed her acting career, claiming that she lost guild memberships and was banned from the industry. (In addition, the Academy subsequently prohibited winners from sending proxies to accept — or reject — awards on their behalf.)

“I was blacklisted — or, you could say, ‘redlisted,'” Littlefeather said in her documentary. “Johnny Carson, Dick Cavett and others didn’t want me on their shows. … The doors were closed tight, never to reopen.”

Littlefeather managed to appear in a handful of films (The Trial of Billy Jack, Johnny Firecloud and Winterhawkamong them) before she quit acting for good and earned a degree in holistic health from Antioch University with a minor in Native American medicine. Her work in wellness included writing a health column for the Kiowa tribe newspaper in Oklahoma, teaching in the traditional Indian medicine program at St. Mary’s Hospital in Tucson, Arizona, and working with Mother Teresa on behalf of AIDS patients in the Bay Area. She would go on to serve as a founding board member of the American Indian AIDS Institute of San Francisco.

So many good moments in Ep 5 of Burrow's End, but this is the one that sets my mind buzzing the most. The idea that community predates identity. We know mama, dada, and baba before we know not only their names, but our own names. And in the season all about family, community, in-group versus outgroup? This feels like such an important idea, and it was came up likely on the spot. It's fascinating to think about, and touches on such big themes about Burrow's End in general.

My mind keeps trying to read "name" as "self," and come up with something like "we have to know others before we know who we are," but I think there's a fundamental error in that idea. Neurologically, we just start off with just "Me" - one of our basic senses is what is "Me" and what is "Not Me." That's fundamental to further categorization, and faults in that sense is where things like depersonalization / derealization come from. Names are just labels, and they're not even the first labels we have for them.

This ties into another point that a lot of people had when watching the trailer at the end of Ep. 4 and during the live reaction of Ep. 5 - the idea that because Sybil was so reluctant to say her brother's name after he died, that it was the result of some top-down oppression within Last Bast and further proof that it's not as idyllic as it seems. Now, Last Bast almost certainly isn't a utopia, and I'm sure we're going to learn more about that in the next episode. And it's possible that it is a top-down enforcement that Sybil, having been raised in Last Bast, has internalized. However, there's a chance this isn't the case.

Less than 30 seconds on Google turns up several cultures that have taboos around speaking the names of the dead - Aboriginal mortuary rituals, the Apache of the Southwest US, the Tolowa tribe of California, the Yanomami on the border of Brazil and Venezuela, certain Romani/Irish Traveller groups, and almost certainly more. While it initially seems unfathomable to Western cultural mores around remembering and memorializing the dead, it's just as possible possible that instead of a method of social control, it's simply a cultural taboo.

https://scholarblogs.emory.edu/gravematters/2017/04/18/aboriginal-mortuary-rituals/

And as Aabria has commented both during the live discussion and general discord channels,

Aabria's a smart cookie, and I trust that she's done plenty of worldbuilding and put tons of thought into how Last Bast's society works. We've seen she's great at her cultural analysis while in the DM's chair in both Misfits & Magic and in A Court of Fey and Flowers. Culture and society are interwoven in all of her games, and where does all that start? With family.

Meet The Art Team

Hello Kinfolks!

I've been really looking forward to this post for a while, and it's now time to unveil the art team I've assembled to put this project together! They're some heavy hitters that y'all ought to recognize, so without further ado let's meet them!

Mx. Morgan (They/Them)

Tumblr

Mx. Morgan G Robles (they/them) is a freelance artist and illustrator based in Seattle, Washington. Their work is best known for its use of macabre themes, animals, and nature. They use these themes to explore mental illness, gender identity, or simply to make neat skulls.

They're known for producing book covers for several major publishers, and they've been brought in to design our book covers as well. In addition, they've developed a number of inside pieces as well!

Dogblud She/Her

Tumblr

Dogblud (she/her), is a Midwestern cryptid working as a freelance artist and writer. Her work is near-exclusively sapphic, centering primarily around werewolves, werebeasts, and their strong thematic ties - horrific or otherwise - to all forms of womanhood.

A long-time fan of Werewolf: the Apocalypse, she's joined our team to produce all of the tribe artwork for the book, in addition to a number of other contributory pieces!

Meka (Any Pronouns)

Tumblr

Meka is a Scottish comic artist with a flair for the dark and extremely bloody and a long-standing love of monsters and what they let us all explore-- for better and worse. Vehemently underground, they build stories about horror, grief, depersonalisation, and the isolation that comes with being just a little too weird and too angry to swallow whole. Art and catharsis go hand in hand, as far as she’s concerned.

In a throwback to the original game series, Meka has joined to produce a 22-page fully illustrated comic for the series entitled Cracking the Bone. A postgraduate in traditional comic artistry, we're extremely fortunate to have them on the team.

M.WolfhideWinter (He/Him)

Tumblr

He is a part-time freelance illustrator from Scotland. His work is heavily inspired by the rugged terrain (and rain) of Scotland with a focus on werewolves inhabiting the wild landscapes both past and present. He explores themes of mental illness, societal stigma, dark folklore, and sad werewolves in the rain.

WolfhideWinter has joined our team as our monster-maker, dedicating their time towards depicting our primary antagonists of the garou: The Black Spiral Dancers, and the Wyrm's brood! We can hardly think of a body horror artist more fitting for the role.

----

As a final addendum, we have an additional writer that's joined the team at the last minute.

J.F. Sambrano (They/He)

Patreon

J. F. Sambrano is an author of horror and (urban/dark/depressing?) fantasy and an advocate for indigenous rights. He lives in Washington (the state) and is originally from Los Angeles (the city); the differences are staggering but the ocean and the I-5 are the same. He is Chiricahua Apache (Ndeh) and Cora Indian (Náayarite). He may or may not be a believer/practitioner of real world magic. If he were, he would not be interested in your hippy-dippy, crystal swinging, dream-catcher slinging garbage. But magic is real, let’s not fuck around.

Beloved Indigenous World of Darkness author J.F. Sambrano is joining our team to depict the Bastet in the Dawn Tribes! A friend and frequent topic of discussion on this blog, we are honored to have him on the team to bring the Werewolf: the Apocalypse he's long-felt the world deserves to life!
