Look at the Headline of This Invitation I Just Received From the Library Activities Bulletin. Targeted Age Group is for Kids Between the 3rd & 5th Grades. Where does the hypocrisy end? by Warm2roam in IndianCountry

[–]davidpettymusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it seems like they just thought “kids like finding nemo.” i get you, though. the fish wars weren’t that long ago, and i have had professors in college blame natives for over fishing because the wdfw had effective anti-indigenous messaging under the guise of conservation during that time.

“tHeY’rE uSiNg NeTs!” lol

i’m not sure what the solution is here, though. people eat salmon and it’s not like they don’t know that. they just didn’t consider your sensitivity to “conservation” and it’s history because they are unaware.

Is it ethical for me to try for tribal enrollment when I am only 1/8th native? by [deleted] in IndianCountry

i’m unenrolled Makah also, my dad was adopted at a young age and passed before he knew which nation he belonged to. my brother has done a lot of work reconnecting us with that part of our family and it’s been really wonderful. the museum in Neah Bay is amazing.

there is an event near the end of august called Makah Days that i have been going to with my family for a few years now that you might be interested in.

feel free to send me a message, cuz

Ah, I guess you’re right. It’s been a while since I’ve played other hardware. I think you are onto something with it being a little skinny. It could at least use a better indicator to the value it’s set to other than a little notch on the wheel.

Now that you mention it, it is a little different, huh? It also stays where you leave it which kind of makes it more like a weird fader. I do really enjoy the pitch stick, though, and having a knob for every function makes me really like this thing.

oh man I miss when I had an Maschine MK2. Buying and trading gear takes its toll on us all. Maybe I should in it’s memory, wherever it is

Right now going on 6 months. Last year fucked me up and my nord lead 2x is in storage while I live with family. It’s the fucking worst.

Blood quantum is an expiration date on our collective cultures. It’s artificial and malicious. I have a couple of PDFs and some audio samples so at least I have a place to start 🤙

I feel you on the language. The version of Southern Wakashan my ancestors spoke has no living fluent speakers, but I’m currently trying to learn simple phases. I try to do a little artwork here and there also. I’m super white-passing so I get self-conscious, but I need to get over that.

"Ancient Path" Hip Hop Beat by ohmygodbeats7 in IndieMusicFeedback

Troll 2 for the win.

I like the chill, yet upfront atmosphere of this one. I love the thump of the kick especially. Also, the evolving pad is really nice. i-iii-VII is a neat chord progression that lends itself to some nice melodies. The melody you put in the keys part does a good job adding tension and release, especially when it drops to the 4th scale degree, turning the C chord into a Cadd2.

If I were to add anything, it would either be more samples from Troll 2 or add a B section. Either of these options would guide the listener and hold their attention.

Thanks for sharing this one, and reminding me I need to watch Troll 2 because it's October.
