from the deep #24047: raven serigraph by Allie High at Stonington Gallery
This is a two-dimensional Raven design created for a drum titled “Raven & Sun Dream Catcher Drum”. High tweaked the imagery for this print slightly, but it is essentially a self portrait. She states, “There is Raven, I am the woman with the labret in the body, and the face on the wing is my son.”

I found a book that has some tlingit legends & stuff & im just here like tearing up lol.
Like, I was never told any of these, or any other 1s. It just feels nice, and bittersweet and such.
[Image ID: the cover of a book illustrated in monochrome brown and off white. It shows a raven cawing with its claws holding a small tree branch. Behind the tree there is a totem pole. The book is titled "The Raven and the Totem; Traditional Alaska Native Myths and Tales" the credits read "Collected and edited by John E. Smelcer" and "illustrated by Larry Vienneau and Susie Bevins"/.End ID]
[Image ID: the praface of the preiviously mentioned book reading "preface: this volume Contains ethnographic narratives from the following alaska Native groups: Tlingit, Eskimo (Yupic, Sugpiaq, Inupiaq), and Athabaskan Indians. Volume II, to be published within the next couple years will include 'folktales' from the Aleut, Haida, Tsimshian, ans Eyak linguistic groups" /.End ID]

Incredible article about Russian colonialism in Alaska. It gets pretty graphic in its descriptions of Russian slaughter of the Aleut population, though, so be wary reading it.

Quick pushback/clarification here, as someone who lived in a town that was majority Alaska natives.
Most Arctic peoples are not Inuit, and the terms are not interchangeable. The Inuit are a specific people, and a lot of other tribes find it pretty insulting to get lumped in as one bit group under that name. It's like calling all Europeans Swedes.
The people I lived around were mostly Yupik and Tlingit, with a few Aleut folks. They actually preferred "Eskimo" as a broad term over Inuit, but their ideal would be their actual names.
If you want to refer to the natives of the Arctic and surrounding areas as a group, Arctic peoples is better. If they're specifically from Alaska, you can instead go with Alaska natives (and yes, it's Alaska, not Alaskan).
Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.
I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻

a lot of people are using nex as a queer talking point without even mentioning they were choctaw and 2S. without even mentioning that this - harassment, assault, murder, disappearances, lies/indifference/denial about the circumstances of our death - is typical of the violence we face. not once have i seen non-native people address that we, as natives, face this same treatment within queer communities. that queer institutions use our land while declining to offer native-inclusive and -sensitive care. we suffer at the hands of white lgbt+ people just as much as we do at the hands of people outside the community.
nex is not your NB pariah. nex was a 2S, NB, choctaw child. thousands of native people go missing and are killed and no one cares. many are two-spirit. many are LGBTQIA+. many are "queer" in ways only defined and recognised by our closed cultures, that you may never hear of and may never understand.
if you are going to flock to nex, you are not going to take them from us post-mortem. they were choctaw. they were native. their tribal affiliation has already been falsely reported on. if you are talking about nex, you will talk about how unwelcoming and dangerous your communities are for us, too. you will talk about how natives face this violence constantly, everywhere. you will not remove nex from the context of them being choctaw, ever - or you won't say their name at all.
even when we die, you don't care about us. i am telling you to care about us if you want us to stop dying.
#howling#nex benedict#yeah no i'm tired of seeing edit: and they were 2s!!1!!#no. first and foremost they were a native child. can you people stop fucking stealing our children.#some other notes if you see my tags: allegedly nex preferred he/him. i will prioritise using he/him. sources seem credible.#secondarily: if you aren't Black do not say ''rest in power'' for non-Black people. i do not know choctaw mourning traditions and language#(i'm algonquain and aleut) and won't tell you what To say. but please do not use ''rest in power'' when inappropriate.#thirdly: if you don't know how to talk about us Don't Talk About Us. QUOTE us. share OUR words.#may your spirit walk freely nex. may you be at peace. may flowers grow in your footprints and birds fly on the wind of your breath.#may your ancestors open their arms to you and embrace you in love. we will never forget you. i'm sorry we failed you.#we will do better next time.

we know why it's called that but the fact that there's an island and city in alaska called unalaska is always going to be funny to us
#context: alaska is a variation on the aleut word for mainland. unalaska just means near the mainland/not mainland#but imagine if there was a city in like texas called nontexas

As I said on DeviantArt, I love the shark-like features you gave Raven.
Character designs based on the description of Raven from Neal Stephenson's novel Snow Crash.
