🤔Trying to sort out the propriety of using Indigenous words, names and symbols as logos and team mascots? This film follows the eye-opening journey of a dad who's a fan of the Washington team after his son asked if the team name is racist. 🎩 @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social www.hailtothebreadsticks.org

I was in Marine Corps boot camp 25 years ago today. I joined one month before 9/11. At MCRD in San Diego, a plane is always taking off. Then, there was none. Our drill instructors told us that our training would be cut short & we’d be shipped to New York City to fight the enemy on Broadway…

“When Native Americans sneezed, what did they say before we got here?” “If everyone lived in a tipi together, where did a guy go to masturbate?” “Where did you guys go when a tornado hit?” … We get a lot of questions.

Simon Moya-Smith @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

You never see Natives ghost hunting. Only in the Southwest will you be asked, "toast, tortilla, or frybread?" In Connecticut, I was asked, "Do you guys really like Kevin Costner?" If you fish with a Native & you say, "I got a snag," we're going to giggle. I have never worn a loincloth ... for free.

Simon Moya-Smith @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Have you noticed it's white ppl looking for dark things we Natives have warned them about? And then they make TV shows where they shout, "I got a scratch on my back!" ... "We're on Native American burial grounds." Along with the scalping narrative (which we didn't invent, btw), we're scratchers now?

Do you know what I find bananas? Humans think they’re better than dogs. Dogs, unlike humans, can detect cancer in your breast. They can see ghosts, if you believe in that. They wake you up when the house is on fire … Yet, humans lock them up, forget them, & fuck off. I prefer the company of dogs.

Don’t go to a protest without a Sharpie. Write the number of your attorney or mom or whomever on your arm. After you write it, go over it again. Make sure it’s in there because the cops will take everything off your person & conveniently lose all of it. But they can’t take that number off your arm.

We’ll give you an Indian name, sure … for a small fee. You may not like the name we give you, but, hey, at least you can brag to your cousins at this year’s Thanksgiving dinner that you got it from a legit Native, right? “Crypto Dick, how’s that turkey coming?”

My mom is Mexica (Mēxihcah). My dad is Oglala Lakota. While the U.S. considers my mom Mexican and my dad Native American, they both have the same brown skin (because they’re both Indigenous). This is why ICE targets Natives — because our skin color is the same as it has been for thousands of years.

Not always. Always is a long time. They always say never is a long time. I always say always is always longer, and I think a lot is too much. A lot is a lot, and probably a lot more than too much. Too much of a lot can be overwhelming, but not always. Understand?

I also despise the 4th of July because fireworks scare dogs, angels on earth, they are. The number of dogs lost — terrorized and traumatized — having run away in fear spikes on the 4th of July. Oh, and troops suffering from PTSD don’t need to be subjected to a barrage of explosions.
