ik everyone and their mother has said this already but I appreciate how many episodes of puppet history focus on non-white stories and are both respectful and dont just focus on mass suffering at the hands of white people, and when they do have episodes involving that they still make sure to focus on the people fighting back and not just "oh this horrible thing was done, sad!"
Also I appreciate how Shane makes an effort to pronounce shit correctly, and to be respectful of people's cultures and spirituality, and to find lesser known stories from these cultures. It's always cool to go into the comments and see people who usually don't see their history or people acknowledged talking about how happy the episode made them.
#I hope he does an episode on ndn history I feel like it would heal the part of me who had to sit through 30000 white history teachers#all telling the same story#as good as it is to be in a time where colonization and native people get acknowledged beyond the basic “they were there and then we were!”#bs it's also like. ive had several times where ive had to step out in class bc my white teacher was talking about how white people#slaughtered ppl like me. in horrific horrific detail. some stories which still haunt me.#I know much of our history is soaked in tragedy but I would be happy to see a puppet history episode talking about what we did divorced fro#the white man or at least. what we did when we werent being betrayed and raped and murdered. yk. cause i feel like thats literally all#people know about us. its probably a reason why so many white americans think we're not around anymore haha#if I could commission a puppet history episode i'd commission one on ndn history tbh#sorry tags got ranty#puppet history#shane madej
