My sons collect mini figs something fierce. How awesome would it be for LEGO to release a tasteful Native American set? Their generation is so far removed from that part of our society; at least where we live now. I grew up in Montana so I had a few Native grade school friends, and had plenty of exposure (my mom also worked for the Historical Society). Andy seems like a great guy, and I'm envious that something he created is being used in this way.comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.124349-4798968Mon, 28 Jan 2013 22:43:06 -0800BrocktoonBy: Slackermagee

Andy is a treat. Met him a couple of times canning fish at his mom's house. His mom, Mary and I used to work together in the mid nineties, and we became good friends. She raised her son with a strong sense of his lineage and a wicked sense of humour. He does some cool stuff, including <a href="http://kwakwala.com/interactive/willy-%E1%B8%B5%CC%93alawi">animating lullabies</a> to teach language.
<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2012/11/18/star-wars-native-art-andy-everson-bc-treaty_n_2140079.html#slide=1764823">Here is a HuffPo article</a> explaining that these prints are deep social commentary on the BC treaty process. <a href="http://www.andyeverson.com/2012/2012.html"> And on this index page</a> you can see the names and archetypes Andy associates with these characters.
In our communities (indigenous west coast) we joke a lot about treaty making using Star Wars analogies. We talk about rebel forces and the Empire and our Elders being like Yoda and so on, so these prints have a real cool edge to them, capturing the zeitgeist really well and with Andy's trademark fierce sense of humour. They do a beautiful job of sharing an in joke with the world and they stand on their own as awesome hybrids of western and indigenous archetypal story telling.

That image of Yoda and Andy's accompanying words have stirred something in me and caused me to consider some things that I'd never really thought about before. Which is both wonderful and sobering. Well done, sir.comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.124349-4799006Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:29:59 -0800Doleful CreatureBy: The Card Cheat

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law.

Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet.
