#but like… as someone who’s indingeous i love learning about other indigenous cultures

[pollenallergie]

hot take: i feel like GOT’s portrayal of those living north of the wall could’ve been way better if they respectfully and mindfully included some inspiration from arctic indigenous cultures… like the wildlings have a whole expansive desert to their disposal… just the different clans all spread out and shit… they’re descendants of the first men… they’ve had soooo much time to get real creative culturally… and you’re telling me they’re not doing drum dances??? you’re telling me they don’t have snow goggles????? no dog-sledding??? no blanket tosses??? yeah right.

they’re not landlocked by any means (if the maps i’ve seen are correct) and yet they’re not out hunting whales??? that’s a major source of nutrition in climates like theirs!! and they’re just not about that life, i fucking guess. whatever.
