The Top 7 Best News of Last Week — August 22, 2022
🎉🎈 — I created this newsletter exactly one year ago! I hope I have made your weeks slightly better. Thank you for being a subscriber
1. New California law now mandates that the school day start no earlier than 8 am for middle graders and 8:30 am for high schoolers.
The start of the new school year is right around the corner! And for most middle and high schoolers, that could mean getting more sleep. Starting July 1, a California state law now requires middle school start no earlier than 8 a.m.
For high school, it’s 8:30 a.m. “This is a public health issue because the sleep deprivation in teens is really at epidemic levels,” said Joy Wake, Policy and Advocacy Director for Start School Later.
2. Pennsylvania governor signs executive order banning conversion therapy
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf signed an executive order Tuesday to ban conversion therapy, a discredited form of therapy that seeks to change someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity, for minors.
The executive order directs state agencies to discourage conversion therapy for people of all ages, and to instead promote evidence-based practices for supporting LGBTQ people. The order also directs the Department of Human Services, among other agencies, to ensure that state funds are not being used to provide or reimburse for conversion therapy.
3. First Native American woman to travel to space
Astronaut Nicole Aunapu Mann, of the Wailacki of the Round Valley Indian Tribes, will be mission commander — responsible for all phases of flight. She will go to the International Space Station on 29 September, Nasa says.
“It’s very exciting,” she told newspaper Indian Country Today.
“I think it’s important that we communicate this to our community, so that other Native kids… realise that some of those barriers that used to be there are really starting to get broken down,” she added.
4. 100-acre no cage, no kill dog shelter opening in Alabama
Big Dog Ranch Rescue — the largest cage-free, no-kill rescue in the U.S. — is opening a 100-acre facility in Alabama.
The ranch will be located at the former home of a greyhound training facility in Shorter in Macon County and will serve as a rescue, rehabilitation, medical and adoption center for dogs across the south. The Alabama property will allow the rescue to save an additional 5,000 dogs each year.
5. Scotland to become first country in world to provide free period products
On Monday, when the Period Products Act comes into force, councils and education providers in Scotland will be legally required to ensure free sanitary products are available to anyone who needs them.
Scotland’s councils will each decide what exact arrangements are put in place, but they will have a legal obligation to give “anyone who needs them” access to a range of period products “reasonably easily”.
6. World’s smallest sea turtle nests in Louisiana for the first time in 75 years
“Louisiana was largely written off as a nesting spot for sea turtles decades ago, but this determination demonstrates why barrier island restoration is so important,” Chip Kline, chairman of the Louisiana Coastal Restoration and Protection Authority, said in a news release.
Crews monitoring the Chandeleur Islands — a chain 50 miles (80 kilometers) east of New Orleans — to help design a restoration project found tracks of females going to and from nests and of hatchlings leaving a nest.
7. Sacheen Littlefeather receives formal apology for mistreatment at 1973 Oscars.
youtube
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has formally apologized to Sacheen Littlefeather for her mistreatment at the 1973 Academy Awards, where the Native American actress and civil rights activist was booed and ridiculed as she declined the Best Actor award on Marlon Brando’s behalf.
“The abuse you endured because of this statement was unwarranted and unjustified,” Academy President David Rubin wrote in a “statement of reconciliation” sent to Littefeather in June, and posted on the Academy’s website Monday. “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.”
I love how she was able to apply humor to the situation. She quipped, “We Indians are very patient people. It’s only been 50 years”. Bless her, that’s awesome.

hi, quick q: how much should i as a white person trust native american representation in classic western novels (karl may's work, etc)? should i generally rely more on the ones that have televised versions, since there were native people involved in the production? thanks!
Which media representations of Natives to trust?
I wouldn’t trust anything “pre-80s classic”, especially “classic Western”, unless the modern members of the tribe that were consulted still approve of the movies in 2019. And even then, I’d want a focus to be on elder opinion or kids who had been directly impacted by how the movies had shown their people. Basically, anyone who hadn’t been involved still has to approve.
I took a quick look at the dates of classic Western movies, and a lot of them were done in the 30s to 60s, from the looks of things. This means they were made before Natives had freedom of religion (1978), making the playing field incredibly unequal in any production house. White people could do what they wanted, and Natives couldn’t express that’s not how the tradition worked without risking going to jail for still practicing illegal beliefs.
You’ve also got to keep in mind that racism in Hollywood was bad enough Marlon Brando boycotted the event and allowed Sacheen Littlefeather to accept in his stead, and she drew attention to the inequality+ Wounded Knee. She was only allowed 60 seconds to speak, and at least one person had to be restrained from attacking her backstage for simply expressing the comment that Native people were treated terribly in Hollywood and by America. She was blacklisted from Hollywood, and the government encouraged it because they didn’t want attention on Wounded Knee (there was a media blackout on it at the time, and this got around it). This was in 1973.
Even though Twilight earns exactly 1 point for casting actual Native actors, and I’ve recommended it for finding fancasts because of it, that doesn’t stop the Natives in the movie from being portrayed terribly. There was, again, a deep power imbalance in the production vs the actors. “Involved” doesn’t mean “given equal voice.”
Co-signing does not equal a good representation. When you have a power imbalance as deep as white/PoC in the production side of media, you’re reliant on white people accepting your narratives to get your foot in the door. Shenee Howard, a Black woman who helps women start their own businesses, wrote a great thread on this topic. The most relevant quote is:
There are 3 ways to make it out here. Connections/mentorship, Influencer route and LUCK. The most common of the 3 is the “connections” route. If you are a writer who wants to get read you have to know SOMEONE. That’s the first hurdle.
That someone you know (if you get that far) will most likely be white and the way your work is perceived is completely determined by how that white person thinks about how black people or POC exist in the world. I’ve had people tell me my script was funny but unrealistic because it didn’t fit the black struggle narrative they had in their head. This is also why when POC enter contests the only winners tend to be “brave stories about POC struggling” vs. comedy or even fantasy projects. There is nothing wrong with those projects, they deserve to be made
And pretty much every black creator with few exceptions have to start this way. Ava and Ryan both had to start with projects that are traditionally white friendly (while also being great) to make their mark and then were allowed to move on to different types of projects
White people hold most of the power in media production. White people have ideas of what the representation should look like, and PoC often go along with it just to get their foot in the door. The farther back you go, the more power white people have. The “most of” in that sentence is the past ten-twenty years.
What that means is: the PoC involved in production often don’t have the ability to correct the project. If they do, great, support that thing (the only Native example that comes to mind is Teen Wolf’s skinwalker episode— please give any examples you know!). But if they don’t? Then they made a deal with the white devil to get their name established in the hopes of moving on to bigger things. Or to get money to support the tribe. Or both.
And anything made before Native Americans had the legal right to own their own tribal stories (aka when they didn’t have religious freedom) is guaranteed to have a giant power imbalance. If, by some miracle, the director was a saint-level good person who actually listened, then you might be in for finding-fairy-dust-level luck. But it’s like finding fairy dust. It would definitely not be the norm.
The only representation to be trusted is when the tribe owned the material. When it’s in their own words. The more white people existed as a filter, the less quality the story is, and the more it should be looked at with suspicion.
Unfortunately, that writes out a lot of media.
Take a dive through Littlefeather’s wikipedia page; a lot of the information there is on her legacy work, which includes some registries and databases of Native-produced stories that have a higher likelihood of being more accurate. But, again, see how modern tribe members feel about the projects, because it can be really hard to make a fully accurate story in the hostilities of the time.

listen... i know ppl like to fight over ships but let me tell you i ship sansa stark with happiness and only happiness and i honestly believe with all my heart that i believe she would be happy with sandor clegane OR tyrion lannister. and i also love both of those characters (maybe sandor a tad more) and believe they both deserve happiness as well. (as a weird ship i also kinda ship her with jamie lannister) so i am asking anyone out there that knows of some good sanrion or sansan or even jamie/sansa fanfic that’s non-au, multi-chapter... hit me with some urls. i am begging.
(((ps as far as sansan go i have read and absolutely loved finding her wolf by nevermore_red, the long journey home by littlefeather, cut and run by jillypups, and the art of seduction by sassyeggs and loved them alllllll!!!!)))
