Another photoshop of Uttamatomakkin I did after seeing many people enjoyed the first one I did! Thank you everyone for sharing such kind words!

Again, I started doing these to give Uttamatomakkin some dignity back. I am tired of native american men being designed/drawed purposely ugly and insulting. Uttamatomakkin was a real man and he shouldn’t have been made into a joke just because of his appearance/race. So anyways here are my edits.

I hope everyone likes it!

How would you rank these animated films involving Indigenous Americans?

You can do it however you see fit (representation, story, music, etc.) I have nit picks and thigns I like with all of them:

"Pocahontas": great music, animation, themes, and characters, but the historical parallel holds it back from being as iconic as other Disney projects. 7/10

"The Emperor's New Groove": very funny with great characters, but not the epic scope of typical Disney films--plus the setting/culture is more of a backdrop, as it feels more modern than medieval. I'll always wish we got "Kingdom of the Sun." 6/10

"The Road to El Dorado": Great characters and animation, but I do wish that the trio and the villain were more fleshed-out--figuratively, not literally--so we could better understand their pasts and motivations. 5/10

"Brother Bear": I love the brotherly story, but I don't really like animal-centric films (except Zootopia). Had it been a musical and focused on the brothers as humans, I'd probably love it. 3/10

So my ranking from best to worst is pretty much the picture above; just go clockwise from left to right.

Dia duit, Éamon is ainm dom! I'm 21 years old and I live on the east coast of the USA. I'm transmasc non-binary and gay, and my pronouns are he/they. My lovely partner is @oldgrow .

I'm a Linguistics major in my second year of college. I've studied Russian, Korean, and Irish, but my current focus is Korean and Irish. Being half Irish, learning Irish is a part of my reconnecting journey. I'd love to have friends to practice Gaeilge with- so please don't hesitate to reach out to me!! I'd also love friends to study Korean with.

As another part of my Irish heritage reconnection journey, I've been delving into Irish Paganism. If there are any Irish Pagans out there who see this, please don't hesitate to reach out to me! I'd love to chat about whatever :) I'm also interested in Irish history and mythology etc etc. Literally just Ireland in general! I've been to Ireland once for my 21st birthday and plan on visiting many many many more times.

While I don't attend protests nearly as frequently nowadays, I used to be active in protests in the DMV area. As someone who is mixed-Indigenous, I primarily attended protests relating to Indigenous rights and issues. I also attended protests relating to BLM, trans rights, and environmental issues. I have very strong "political" opinions lol

I always thought that it was odd how disney still promotes pocahontas

Disney has a history of censoring or straight up ignoring their old problematic media but pocahontas? A true story about a girl who went through horrifying events that they romanticised and profit of it is still considered one of their memorable movies, she's still one of the official disney princesses despite the fact that how disrespectful the movie was towards matoaka

#ik that the whole john smith thing is not from disney but yeah #people often want to separate history and fiction but that movie was still based of real life #and it was all wrong #disney critical #disney racism #disney criticism #disney salt #anti disney #matoaka #pocahontas #disney #disney movies #native american #native american women #powhatan

The next time you believe that Russia & the USSR was and is anticolonial, think of whether Russia did the decolonization within its borders first.

Spoiler alert: Russia never revised its colonial history regarding it's conquests in Siberia, the so-called Russian North (Karelia and other Ugro-Finnic lands), the Caucasus mountains and Central Asia. Instead, they still worship the very people who committed those crimes as national heroes.

A perfect example of such a Russian national “hero” is Semyon Dezhnev, a 17th-century Russian (Moscovian) cossack. In Russian schools they teach that he was a great traveler and explorer, that he discovered new lands in Siberia for the tsar, that he was the first European to swim through the Bering Strait, and that he befriended the native Siberian nations. During the Soviet era, he was so revered that several icebreaker ships were named after him.

What they don't mention, however, is the fact that in relation to native Siberians, particularly Sakhans (Yakuts), he was a sort of a character that we could compare to the Spanish conquistadors in South and Central Americas or to English settlers in North America. I believe that the best character in the Western historiography that I can compare him to is John Smith. Yeah, the one who abducted a 12-year-old Powhatan girl named Matoaka, but you may know her in her romanticized, sexu@lized version as Pocahontas.

In other words, I mean that Semyon Dezhnev was a colonizer, and most likely a murderer and a r@pist.

Because yeah, the story of Semyon Dezhnev and his Sakhan (Yakutian) wife, Abakayade, is sort of like the Russian version of the story of Pocahontas and John Smith. It is heavily romanticized and almost always centres the perspective of the colonists and marginalizes native voices.

But you know what is the difference between the story of Pocahontas & John Smith and the story of Semyon Dezhnev & Abakayade?

That the native people of the Americas managed to fight back and reclaim their own narrative. That the white settlers were forced to stop spreading this false narrative which only served to legitimize colonialism and genocide.

Meanwhile, in Russia, the story of Dezhnev & Abakayade was cemented by the Soviet propaganda as the perfect example of the fraternity of peoples. Yes, the same concept of the fraternity of peoples that the Soviets popularized among the POC in the West as an example of a decolonized, equal society.

And the lie has been so strong, that in 2005 Semyon Dezhnev was commemorated in a monument in Yakutsk, the capital city of the republic of Yakutia (Sakha) - the capital city of the very lands that he raided and exploited. And to make things worse, he is depicted as a loving husband to Abakayade, the woman whom he abducted, forcefully baptized in the Russian Orthodox Church, married in this very religion that was foreign to her, then r@ped and impregnated so that she had his child.

How disgusting you have to be to lie to the world about being “anti-colonial” and then commemorate straight-up colonizers?

And yeah, before you accuse me of defending the US - the fact that I criticize Russian imperialism, Russian colonialism and the concept of Russia as a whole does not mean that I am fond of the US. Heck, I am not. But the problem is that criticizing the US has been a thing for decades, while the victims of Russian colonialism and imperialism has been silenced this entire time because too many people out there believed in the myth called fraternity of peoples - a myth invented by Russkiye (white Slavic) Russians for Russkiye Russians, and to make Russiye Russians look good in the eyes of the world; a myth, in which the native population is just an addition to the “glory” of the Russkiye.

My point is not that the US is better, my point is that the US and Russia, somewhat like the Western and Eastern Rome, are two sides of the same coin and none of them deserves praise just because it's against the other. They equally deserve condemnation.

Have a picture of a monument of a colonizer with his victim 🙃

Pocahontas

Pocahontas was a Native American woman belonging to the Powhatan people, notable for her association with the colonial settlement at Jamestown, Virginia.

She married the tobacco planter John Rolfe in April 1614 at the age of about 17 or 18, and she bore their son Thomas Rolfe in January 1615.

Hey there. Do you have any advice for someone who wants to learn their Indigenous language- but it's extinct? For me it would be Powhatan, and I dont know what the best alternative would be. I've considered Anishinaabemowin but I really don't know.

Hello, sorry I'm not familiar. Maybe try searching for experts in the languages who work at Universities? Or contacting the councils of tribes who speak the closest living version of the language. I recently learned my Indigenous language was being taught in the local night school by some elders. But ultimately, the best I can advise is do your research, google the languages and folks who speak it, experts and see if any of them can be contacted for further questions. Best of luck ❤️

If anyone has any specific advice to help anon, please reply to the post or reach out!

We should all know by now that Matoaka, the Powhatan “princess” who became immortalized in history as Pocahontas and even inspired a Disney animated film, would have been around twelve years old when she first met the British settlers of Jamestown in 1607 AD. But what if the Disney film had portrayed her that way instead of aging her up into a twenty-something woman?

(Twelve-year-old anatomical proportions are not easy to get right, believe me.)

Cutting Through: The Desperate Effort to De-Contextualize October 7

Hamas bears full responsibility for its crimes on October 7, but the event was still the result of disastrous policy decisions by many outside actors. Both things can be and are true.
