I think I'm gonna honestly just make an AU for this but idk. Like of the 2012 (or really any version) and silly little adventures on the rez and shch (I may call it the Four Turtles AU bc I think that's what I want their family name to be)

I know I am white and henceforth cannot make a truly accurate/inclusive AU for a culture I was not immersed in even if I try. I read lots of books, consume native content by natives, talk to natives directly, etc etc

But that doesn't, like, Make Up make up for it. So, if any tmnt fans are native and want to help me out/give me pointers, please do!!! I

Being real the 2012 turtles would be native. Most versions actually if we are going by origins of the species they are (usually box turtles aka a North American species). So I wanted to try my hand at some designs

I had like 7 different references (books and websites) for like hair and shit and still. Had really little to work with so I'm sorry </3 I mostly used the Cherokee as my references

DY Begay (Diné, b. 1953), "Natural Two," 2010. Wool and plant dyes, 33 11/16 × 50 3/16 in. Collection of Jürg & Christel Bieri. Photo by Walter Larrimore for the National Museum of the American Indian.

"I'm inspired by colors from washes [dry stream beds] that I walk daily. [One] particular day we received some rain and the moisture restored and enriched the tired hues and soil designs. These land formations are dynamic movements—juxtaposing waves, like in the ocean. These natural events ignite my creative energy."—DY Begay

Fiber artist DY Begay is a Diné woman who weaves on a Diné loom in the customary plain-weave technique with churro wool—and from this foundation she has established an artistic career characterized by expanding the boundaries of her Diné weaving tradition. In pursuit of mastery, DY Begay has explored historical and contemporary weaving and dyeing practices as inspiration. From diverse global traditions, she has absorbed the values that she continuously applies to her personal style: perfecting her technical skills on the loom, exploring the expressive power of color through dyeing and blending, and establishing harmony within her compositions.

Though intrigued by them, Begay moved beyond the horizontal, geometric designs more typical of regional Diné textiles, and instead composed asymmetrical tapestries with rippling bands of color with occasional references to Diné geometric designs. Begay's designs are never static; she varies her creations between geometric, figurative, and abstract tapestries, as seen here in "Natural Two" which is currently on view through July 13 at our Washington, DC location in "Sublime Light: Tapestry Art of DY Begay."

War shirt

Crow, Native American ca. 1880

This richly embellished garment, which embodies layers of spiritual and military meaning, would have been worn by a man of great stature on ceremonial occasions. The red ocher paint on the upper half represents an aspect of holy power. The rolled fringes made from ermine pelts hanging from the arms and chest, together with the human hair on the flaps at the neck, signify bravery and victory over the enemy.

My favorite thing as a Native American growing up in the 2010s has been the shift of museums treating us like savage, ancient peoples that had no brain for thoughts or emotions, to protraying things a bit more realistically. Like now they tend to position us as folks just chilling out and making fun of these piece of shit colonizers that would later commit some of the worst shit humanities ever seen or done. Wish we focused more on the latter there but i like the humanizing yall are doing there, it's a breath of fresh air

I went to this Northwest Passage museum once where they had the white explorers' journals on one side of the exhibit and the native people's accounts on the other side of the exhibit and the explorer journals were like "our canoe had almost sunk when we encountered some kindly Indians" and the native histories were like "we watched a bunch of strangers come down the river in the shittiest canoe you'd ever seen. Also, they had no rain gear"

Sands is from the Walpole Island Unceded Territory where my family is from. I'm so excited to see a filmmaker from Walpole <3 I can't wait to see this.
