This is fun. My friends over at Native America Indigenous Cinema and Arts(NAICA) send me this email request for love stories for their online magazine (which I LOVE!). It was so cute I am just posting it word-for-word:
NAICA is gearing up for it's Spring edition and in keeping with the
season of blossoming love and flowers and shit like that we were
wondering what the hell is American Indian (South, North, Central...all
western hemispheric and whatnot) love all about anyway? What does it
look like-besides sweaty a la Chief Prairie Fire pants who beds down
with Rebecca, the strong willed Irish lassie he found roaming on the
burning plains on a hot summer afternoon after her family was murdered
by Pawnees because the Pawnees were always murdering immigrant families
looking to steal land.
Indeed! What is love amongst Indigenous folks of the western hemisphere
all about if it's not like what they write in romance novels? NAICA
wants to know so we can let middle aged middle American women
know-assuming they read our zine.
Tell us your grand love stories whether they be Indio encima Indio,
cross generational, multi-cultural or inter-tribal, we want to hear how
and why Native people fall in love these days-with or with out an open
bar-because we're tired of reading about it in romance novels!
Reply with your insights and we will reprint them in an upcoming
editorial on this very topic in our all new all love on all pages next
edition of NAICA online.
Caveats:
-Must be 18 years or older.
-No pornography please. We don't care about the physical mechanics of
"love" only the esoteric/romantic why of it all.
-Must give NAICA onine permission to reprint your ideas/stories OR we
will use your shit and give you a pseudonym like "Jennifer Tickles
Cocks" cause we're professional like that.
-Must be Indigenous in some provable way (ahahahahahaaaahahahaha).
Send your reply to:
naica.content@gmail.com
with your name, age and verifiable email address so we can send you a
release form.
Limit (250-300 words or so) please
BTW, this is a truly serious piece of scholarship we're aiming for
...hmmm.
P.S. If you are too shy but know of some other less shy Indian who wants
to spill their heart out, pass this on. xoxoxo

YOU HAVE TO LOVE INDIAN WOMEN ……….
1. …for their ability to play rez ball, take care of 20 kids, and manage to make sandwiches at the same time when at a basketball tournament.
2. …for any reason to say “Aye!” at the end of. a joke.
3. …for their ability to cram 20 people in one room at the Super 8 motel during a powwow.
4. …for their ability to make commodity food taste like a 4-star culinary feast.
5. …for their ability to make those breakfast/lunch/dinner burritos that we all love so much.
6. …for their ability to expertly point with their lips at that fine grass dancer with the long braids.
7. …for their ability to make a rez car look good.
8. …for the ability to change a tire, the oil, a spark plug, or anything on the car.
9. …for those little hairs that always seem to stick up no matter how much hairspray applied.
10. …for their ability to work wonders with bailing wire and, of course, duct tape!!
11. …for their ability to keep sweat pants fashionable no matter what occasion.
12. …for their ability to make that all-tourney t-shirt and shorts into the one and only Indian “swimsuit.”
13. …for their ability to stay out all Friday night at the Indian casino and still hit the early Saturday morning yard sales.
14. …for their ability to lead all the round dance songs at Gathering’s 49.
15. …for their tendency to want to bead every clothing item of the entire family.
16. …for their ability to give one “look” at their man to shut him up.
17. …for her ability to go to the store with those infamous pink rollers in her hair with not one hint of embarrassment.
18. …for their ability to pee on the road side or behind any shrub no matter how small.
19. …for their ability to somehow get her husband to ask for some of his money out of his own paycheck.
20. …and last but not least for their wonderful ability to sneak 10 extra drumsticks of chicken and biscuits into their Tupperware from the buffet in town to later feed the family.
