Whoah! That's a heck of a reference. I forgot that movie existed!

Thanks for sharing! I had read a little bit about the difficulties in attempting to retain the traditional language, so I wondered if there were other struggles similar to we're facing here in the US. I know how you feel about the cultural food thing. I was lucky enough to be around traditional food and I'll admit it's a little emotionally hard to see people holding up frybread as the default example of what they think of "Native American" food, especially given its history.
To be frank, it's clear he hates non-whites enough that he'll definitely do it. He has no problems denigrating anything else we have, so I don't see why this would be an exception.
This immediately makes me think of the Intertribal Friendship House in Oakland, which I'm guessing is a partial inspiration for the show.
Absolutely. OKC IHS does tons of good for the Native community and is the only one in the area. The next closest from the OKC area would be El Reno (~45 min away), but it's small. Anadarko or Watonga would be next and they're about an hour away and they're small, too. Hearing that it was being shuttered to recoup $120K was infuriating, but I shouldn't have been surprised they were willing to sacrifice lives for what is less than the average cost of a single home in the metro.
Those were both pretty cool reads. We have something similar to La Lechuza called a hatakchaya, which is a kind of witch. The Nahua associating owls with death is interesting, especially since they sound to be more positive than the stories I hear. For Choctaw, the owl is also closely associated with death in the sense they are considered to be harbingers. As you mentioned in a comment, there is actual differentiation. For us, the difference in what owl you see indicates things like the age of the person who will die. The one exception IIRC is the screech owl, which is seen as a sign of a murder has or will happen.
Edit: Also, thanks for pointing out that they're climate change deniers. I definitely won't be posting any more articles from them.
I'm Choctaw and we're from the Southeast United States (Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana), so owls are bad news. If you've ever watched the show "Reservation Dogs", there's a scene where the kids (I think they're Mvskoke/Creek) catch a glimpse of an owl and react in a typical way for kids raised traditionally: This scene (Youtube)
