[Image description: a pair of Native Moccasins made from deer hide. The inside and soles are a faded greyish-tan color. The outer rim of the foot of the moccasin has white beads with diamonds with alternating colors of blue and yellow, and lined thickly in red, evenly spaced against the white. The inside of the rim has a background of blue beads with a vertically stacked, dark yellow, horizontal diamond design, outlined with white that are outlined in red. A single white & red rectangle sits at the centre of the two diamonds. End image description.]

2 Spirit Dream Catcher Dot Com by Theo Jean Cuthand

“2 Spirit Dreamcatcher Dot Com queers and indigenizes traditional dating site advertisements. Using a Butch NDN "lavalife" lady (performed by director Thirza Cuthand), 2 Spirit Dreamcatcher Dot Com seduces the viewer into 2 Spirit "snagging and shacking up" with suggestions of nearby pipeline protests to take your date to, and helpful elders who will matchmake you and tell off disrespectful suitors. It's the culturally appropriate website all single 2 Spirit people wish existed. Following up on her video "2 Spirit Introductory Special $19.99," this work examines the forces of capitalism through envisioning a "financially unfeasible" service for a small minority community.”

 Reclamation by Theo Jean Cuthand

“After white people leave Earth en masse for Mars, the Indigenous people left behind contemplate their place in healing the world and what happens next.

my redesigned Plains Cree character, Joanna Jay “Jay” Allan

I’m still trying to collect some good, legitimate resources for Plains Cree beadwork, but from what I have I decided that an aspect of her character would be incorporating beadwork and jewelry into her outfits to stay connected to her identity while out in space.

I also gave her brothers glasses, so I figured glasses run in the family and gave her a pair. she otherwise wears contacts

I’m also changing her original surname, Black, to become Allan. I finally found a source for some common Cree surnames. I want to be as accurate as I can, and I think Allan fits nicely with the A’s in Jay and her brothers’ names (Jay, Adam, and Wallace). so now they are Jay Allan, Adam Allan, and Wallace “Wally” Allan.

yes absolutely!!

my mushum was a singer, he was really talented. he never wrote his own songs, but he would do covers with his guitar. he was really popular in our sk groups/indigenous groups.

he died back in 2015. most of his songs/singing was never recorded, nothing on spotify/etc. he did release a cd, i just got my cd back after it was held hostage by my biomother. he also has 3 songs on youtube

im a chronic spotify listener, always have been. started putting together a playlist of songs he would sing, but by the original artists. first time i hit shuffle, was incredibly disappointed. imo he was a better singer than any of the ogs, his voice was so rich and full and he sang from his toes.

he never learned how to read sheet music, he would learn songs by ear.

people would hire him to sing at events and places, he would sing at funerals, he would sing at parties, everywhere.

this is one of my favourite songs of his, he actually won a talent contest by singing this and one of the prizes was he got a cameo in that old show bonanza. prairie fire was originally sung by marty robbins, but manz cant come close to mushums talent.

tl;dr! my mushum is the best singer and all of his covers were unbeatable

Cree Elders Get Emotional When I Speak Their Dying Language - Xiaomanyc

"Anyway, I was challenged to come out in the middle of the ice cold winter to remote northern Saskatchewan to learn Cree, one of the world’s most difficult and highly endangered languages, by Patrick, a dancer from Canada’s indigenous Cree people, and then try to give a speech in Cree in front of a room full of skeptical elders. We also went dog sledding, sweat lodging, and moose eating – a truly unique First Nations / Native American experience! If you want to learn some Cree, Patrick and his family have Cree courses available at repeataftermecree.com"

This is honestly so amazing and so beautiful to see. I wasn't raised close with my indigenous family, but I do know a few words and phrases myself. It's an incredibly hard language to learn and speak, and even my cousins who grew on reserves don't speak much if any at all. It's made me even more committed to taking classes to learn as well to help preserve my culture and language.

I'm so grateful to Ari, aka Xioma, for making this video and taking the time to learn and share everything he has. Language truly does bring people together.

It sounds like you reimagined Cancer as being from the Cree nation, which I think is a neat concept. Every Native American character I've seen in media have either been Cherokee or Navajo, with the exception of Brother Bear which showcased Inuit characters.

I would love to see your redesign of Cancer someday!

I finished Aries’s redesign. What’s that about the name of the franchise being Zodiac Girlz? Oh. You just remembered it wrong. It was always Zodiac Girlz PLUS Boyz. Yeah. No need to fact check me…

I in Aries’s bio on the website it’s mentioned that she loves to argue. Which made me think she could be a part of the debate club. Which made me think of Ben Shapiro. Legendary big brain guy. I already gender bent Cancer so I was like why not also Aries.

Aries is five foot (152 cm) in height with a horrible case of short guy syndrome. Probably not helped by the fact that his 3 younger brothers are at least a head taller than him. He is 17 years old (his youngest brother is 12 LOL) and would like everyone to know he’s an ATHEIST!!! That crab on his T-shirt. NOT A CRAB! It’s The Flying Spaghetti Monster from Pastafarianism. It’s a real life parody religion. If you have any questions don’t mention them to Aries. He will monologue at you for days.

He likes to go to parties and stand in the hall. Preferably by the toilet. He picks arguments with anyone who walks past about religion. All the while holding a red plastic cup full of some disgusting alcoholic mixture he never actually drinks. He’s supposed to be a comic relief character if you didn’t notice.

He was prematurely born. No one thought he would live but his Mexican catholic parents prayed. And he did get better. By the time he was 3 he was like any other kid. Except smaller. Until he was 14 he took being catholic very seriously. Every Sunday he would be an altar servant. That was until he stumbled across some atheist forums. He lost his faith quickly. Wanting to be the correct one in every argument. His parents did not appreciate this change. Saying to him that if it wasn’t for god he would be dead.

He feels guilty for not being a chistian anymore. He’s also afraid of god’s anger for bad mouthing him. It pushes him more into atheism because if god doesn’t exist then he can’t hurt him.

Well. That took a depressing turn. It’s based off my own religious trauma as an ex catholic. Comment if you can relate LOL.

As time goes by he gets more and more nervous from arguing. To the point that he starts having panic attacks. He thinks that he’s dying. The doctor recommends him a therapist. The therapist manages to convince his parents to stop taking him to church and makes him stop going on the forums. Instead he gets a new hobby. Making shoes.

His superpower is super speed. The only thing stopping him from running up walls of skyscrapers are his shoes. They always break and then he runs (pun intended) the risk of hurting his feet. At first his home made shoes were worse than his basic off brand sneakers. But with the help of the scientist of the group Aquarius his shoes became way better. Eventually he wants to make a shoe brand with Cancer and Aquarius. Cancer is his best friend. Probably because he’s quiet and a yes man. He also sometimes decorates Aries’s shoes with Plains Cree inspired beadwork.

That’s it for Aries. I hope you don’t mind that it’s so long. Oh! Also he unlocked his superpower by getting in an argument with the wrong people and having to run as fast as he could from that.
