National Native American Hall of Fame names first twelve
historic inducteesBy Debra Krol Indian Country Today E-weekly 0ewsletter October Ê4, ÊÈ18 Page Ê
Honorees included Native Astronaut John Herrington, LaDonna Harris, Olympian Billy Mills, Eloise Cobell and Lori Piestewa In an evening filled with emotion, laughter and occasionally tears, 12 Native people known for their distinction in athletics, activism, education, art and even reaching the stars were honored during the inaugural National Native American Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Oct. 13 at the Phoenix Indian School Memorial Hall. Four of the five living recipients were on hand to accept their awards, while Jill Momaday accepted on behalf of her father, daughter of author and poet N. Scott Momaday, who at age 84, uses a wheelchair and finds travel difficult. “My dad extends his best wishes and deep gratitude,” Momaday said. “His papers and writings center on what it means to be Indian in America.” Attendees heard comments of inspiration, hope and more from such history changers as forward-thinking educator Lionel Bordeaux, longtime Native rights activist LaDonna Harris, Native astronaut John Herrington, and gold-medal winning Olympian Billy Mills. Not even a rainstorm during the day could stop the ceremony, as James Parker Shield, Little Shell Chippewa, the Hall of Fame’s CEO and founder said. “I wanted to ensure that the United States doesn’t forget the contributions of these Native Americans.” The evening’s ceremony was the culmination of that effort, as well as a call to action to continue to grow the Hall of Fame.

Additional imagineNATIVE awards include Best Dramatic Feature, Best Indigenous Language Production and Best Youth Work On Sunday, October 21, 2018 the 19th Annual imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival announced their annual festival award winners. At the TIFF Bell Lightbox, the esteemed Sun Jury and Moon Jury considered film, video, audio, and digital media works from Canadian and international Indigenous artists to select winners in over a dozen categories with over $30,000 in cash prizes and in-kind services. One notable award given was to Film and Television actor Michael Greyeyes — known for Woman Walks Ahead (2017), Fear the Walking Dead (2017), Klondike (2014) and The New World (2005) — who received The August Schellenberg Award of Excellence. The ‘Auggie Award’ given to Greyeyes included a $1500 cash award sponsored in part by ACTRA National as well as individual donations. In his acceptance speech, Greyeyes expressed the honor he felt in being recognized and thank August Schellenberg for teaching him so much of what he knew as an actor. "Auggie was a great teacher to me. He taught me the importance of rigor in our work and our craft. I'd like to thank all of my teachers because without them, where would we be? Every crew I have worked with, every director and every writer … they are all teachers." Greyeyes also thanked his family. Finish reading the story by Vincent Schilling here

Native author brings cultural blood suckers to 'Vampire:
The Mas�uerade' gameBy Vincent Schilling
The role playing game, Vampire: The Masquerade, has been the go-to (Role Playing Game) RPG platform for decades in the world of Vampire role play. The original author of the gaming series and tabletop RPG was Mark Rein-Hagen. The game was released in 1991 by White Wolf Publishing. The game was lauded as #6 out of the top 50 RPGs in the world. A new updated version (5th Edition) and reprint was released August 2018. Descendants of the Three Sisters: Native American Clans of the Northeast and the other supplemental book, Dark New England Regional Sourcebook, are designed to update information and plotlines from several early editions of Vampire: The Masquerade books, including Dark Colony. According to Ellwood, (Nanticoke / Lenape) "As far as gaming, I’m a huge Native Nerd / Geek. I’ve been a gamer since the early 1980’s when I used to program in BASIC in high school. I’ve always loved role playing games like Dungeons and Dragons and I’ve been immersed in metaverse Second Life and MOORPG The Lord of the Rings Online for a long time. I’d always harbored a dream to write and contribute visual art for games." Finish reading story and read how you can play the game here

"Descendants of the Three Sisters' is an RPG game that combines culture & modern Native American blood-sucking vampires
One of Lisa J. Ellwoods’ and Joshua Heath’s admitted favorite moments in the role-playing game book they co-authored, Descendants of the Three Sisters, is when Matunaagd, a 16-year-old Native vampire that has existed for 800 years, rips the skeleton out of a man’s body. Such is the world of Ellwood’s and Heath’s project on culturally-appropriate Native American blood-sucking vampires in Descendants of the Three Sisters: Native American Clans of the Northeast. In 2017, the role playing game enthusiast and book author Joshua Heath began looking for a way to bring culturally appropriate Native American vampires into his series of supplement books into the wildly popular role playing game Vampire: The Masquerade. He reached out to a self-proclaimed Native nerd, Lisa J. Ellwood (an Indian Country Today correspondent) — who with her extensive knowledge of the gaming world and live role-playing games made famous by such platforms as Dungeons and Dragons — decided to accept the offer to work on Descendants of the Three Sisters: Native American Clans of the Northeast.

Powered by Whiskey? Wearing a headdress? Protester banned on
Facebook as Spunky S�uaw owner wears headdress, store rep uses n-words
By Vincent Schilling
On the Spunky Squaw website are a selection of clothing items that include western and Native themes, but much of the merchandise has been removed. The Instagram account — which previously had about 6,500 followers — has been taken down. Their Facebook page also was deleted. In the week since reporting about the online retail store, readers of Indian Country Today have sent a plethora of social media posts about the owner and store representatives. One of the store representatives, @theboujieblonde on Instagram, and @berkeleyrudel on Twitter who has stated people are “too sensitive for the entire world,” has been called out for using the n-word (ending in a) in her tweets. According to a report by the CBC, an Alberta woman, Rhiannon Babyn, found herself temporarily banned from Facebook this weekend after she called out Spunk Squaw, citing the name includes a racial and gendered slur against Indigenous women. As Babyn was banned, the owner and store reps have been using racially motivated epithets toward people protesting the store. Other non-Native people on social media have also been coming to the owner’s aid. "There is absolutely no derogatory meaning in the word 'sq--w' … When I started my business I really did think I had chosen an empowering and fun name," Adams wrote on her Facebook page. Currently there is a petition titled The Spunky Squaw Change Your Business Name which now has over 9,300 signatures.

Other non-Native people come to the aid of store owner, reps despite claims the name Spunky Squaw is offensive Last week, social media had been going full-speed as Brooke Adams, a 21-year-old Texas college student at Tarleton State University defended her online boutique store she named ‘Spunky Squaw.’ See related coverage: Social Media erupts as Native groups ask owner of ‘Spunky Squaw’ to change name
