Midweek Motivation Videos: 1491s and Hipster Fashion

Happy Wednesday everyone! I have a couple of fun Native videos that have been making the rounds on the internets that I thought I would share.

First up, the latest video from the 1491s--the Native sketch comedy group that brought us the Wolfpack auditions, Day in the Life of a Powwow MC, as well as the gorgeous poem Geronimo E-KIA, and many more--simply entitled "hunting":



Next, a great satire/parody of cultural appropriation in the fashion world (that is probably a little too true to life in some instances). Filmmaker Daniella Pineda sent it over with this quick back story:

This is a new video I made about a fictitious actress who starts her own "Native American Fashion line." I live in Brooklyn so like I'm bombarded with drunk white hipster girls dancing around with headdresses. Also this past summer urban outfitters and top shop were pushing this hard. So I made this video.

"...or a happy trail of tears!" haha. Love it.

Enjoy!

Monday Motivation: "More Than Frybread" Trailer

My new obsession of the moment:"More Than Frybread". From what I can tell from the trailer, it's a mockumentary-style film that covers the "World Wide Frybread Association Arizona Chapter Frybread Championship." It tells the story through following several of the finalists, who are all awesome characters. So far it reminds me a lot of the Christopher Guest movies, which are my fav, so I'm totally sold already. Check it out below:

Hope this helps you get through your Monday (or your finals...if you're like me)! Can't wait to see the finished film--the website says it's coming out this summer.
