QUESTION: Has the media systematically reinforced a romanticized and mythicized image of Native Americans in order to create the mental and emotional disconnect needed to live in a country built on the blood of its first people?

ANSWER: Probably.

Right On, Off the Rez

So I just got done reading Sherman Alexie's Indian Killer and watching Smoke Signals and, as a person who is extremely susceptible to cravings for nearly any food that is merely mentioned, you had better believe that I was about ready for some frybread.
And wouldn't you know it, there is a food truck that serves up frybread and frybread tacos right in the heart of Capitol Hill every Friday and Saturday night! Off the Rez owner Mark McConnell saw the need for Native American cuisine in
the Seattle area and stepped up to fill the role with food inspired by his mother, who grew up on the Blackfoot reservation in Montana. 

Guess where I'll be on Saturday night? Work. But after that, OFF THE REZ!
