my native mother has 2 rules for me when it comes to dating (not that I'll need them lol 🧡💛⚪💙🔵):

1: Never date musicians; they'll break your heart and drive away in their van.

2: Dont date natives; cause chances are your related. (This has happened to my family before actually lol)

My mom really told me not to date myself lmao.

Native American/First Nations Woman Writer of the Week

NORA MARKS DAUENHAUER

Continuing on our trek through what remains of March, I offer you another Indigenous woman writer, Nora Marks Keixwnéi Dauenhauer (1927-2017), a Tlingit writer from Juneau, Alaska. Born in Juneau, Dauenhauer grew up there as well as in Hoonah, Alaska with a father who was a fisherman and carver, and a mother who was a beader. Dauenhauer lived at times with her parents on a fishing boat and in seasonal camps. Being a member of the Tlingit tribe, her first language was Łingít, and she did not learn English until she was eight.

Following her mother in the Tlingit matrilineal system, she was a member of the Raven moiety of the Tlingit nation, of the Yakutat Lukaax̱.ádi (Sockeye Salmon) clan, of the Shaka Hít or Canoe Prow House, from Alsek River. She was chosen as clan co-leader of Lukaax̱.ádi (Sockeye Salmon) in 1986 and as trustee of the Raven House and other clan property. She was then given the title Naa Tláa (Clan Mother) in 2010, becoming the ceremonial leader of the clan.

Dauenhauer earned a BA in anthropology from Alaska Methodist University in Anchorage. In the early 1970s, she married poet and Tlingit scholar Richard Dauenhauer and together they made significant contributions to preserve the Tlingit oral traditions in their Classics of Tlingit Oral Literature book series. Nora Dauenhauer became a Tlingit language researcher for the Native Language Center at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks from 1972-1973, and then became the principal researcher in language and cultural studies at the Sealaska Heritage Foundation in Juneau from 1983-1997.

On the subject of preserving the Tlingit oral tradition and its importance, Dauenhaur said:

People are now beginning to take action for language and cultural survival, and my work is to help provide inspiration and tools for this through my writing.

Dauenhauer had several accomplishments, including being named the 1980 Humanist of the Year by the Alaska Humanities Forum. Together, the Dauenhauers were awarded the Alaska Governor’s Award for the Arts, two American Book Awards, and a Before Columbus Foundation American Book Award. In 2005, Nora Dauenhauer was the recipient of the Community Spirit Award from the First People’s Fund.

As a poet, Nora Dauenhauer published two collections, one of which we hold in Special Collections, Life Woven With Song, published by the University of Arizona Press in 2000 (the other is The Droning Shaman, Black Current Press, 1989). This book recreates the oral tradition of the Tlingit people through written language in a variety of literary forms, and records memories of Dauenhauer’s heritage from old relatives and Tlingit elders, to trolling for salmon and preparing food in the dryfish camps and making a living by working in canneries.

I love American and Native history around the time of pioneers, Indian wars, expansion, and conquest. I think North America had an equally interesting history before record and before european contact also.

#thinking about Natives #just watched wind river again and i grew up around them #the alaskan natives were definitely a different vibe

> Oh hey. Do you like that one plushie you got?

[ WITHOUT WAITING FOR AN ANSWER, ANOTHER BOX APPEARED. THIS TIME WITH A PLUSHIE OF YOU and the INTERVIEWER! ]

[ THE NOTE INSIDE IS DIFFERENT! ]

[ “ Do you have any favorite foods? “ ]

[ NO SIGN-OFF ]

< Your coworker opens the box to see the two plushies with the note on top. This time, the note obscures the dolls' features, so he reads the paper first. >

"Favourite foods? I like caviar and other things like that, and I occasionally treat myself to a gold steak. I remember going to a buisness potluck once where one of the people brought something called 'muktuk.' Apparently it's a native Alaskan delicacy. Tasted horrible; way to rubbery and not enough flavour."

< He shudders, remembering the experience. Never again. He slips the note into a pocket before turning back to check out the other items. >

"Hey, another doll of the boss! Seriously, where are you guys getting these?"

< Coworker places the doll next to the other one of normal guy/interviewer and the protagonist doll. Turning back to the box once more, he reaches for the plush of himself. >

"Haha! It seems the people just can't get enough of me!!"

< Coworker holds the plush, excited and admiring it. >
