You ever notice how people get all weird when it comes to talking about Native Americans? It's like we're all walking on cultural eggshells. I mean, we've got this rich, diverse history, and yet everyone's so afraid of saying the wrong thing. I tried to order a dreamcatcher online once, and suddenly I felt like I needed a PhD in Native American studies just to click "purchase." I imagine the conversation in my head went something like this:
Me:
"Hey, I want to buy this dreamcatcher."
My Brain:
"But do you know the spiritual significance behind it? Have you consulted with a tribal elder about your dreams lately?"
And then I start thinking, "Can I even call it a dreamcatcher? Is that term politically correct now, or do I have to say 'aspirational snare' or something?"
I'm just waiting for the day I accidentally offend someone by saying I love powwows because, you know, I like to party. And then someone corrects me, "No, it's a cultural celebration," and I'm like, "Sure, sure, but have you seen me dance after a few drinks? That's a celebration too!

You ever notice how people use the term "totem pole" to describe hierarchy, like who's at the top and who's at the bottom? I always found that a bit strange. I mean, totem poles are these beautiful, intricate carvings with rich cultural significance, and we're reducing them to office politics. I can imagine a boss saying, "You're at the bottom of the totem pole," and someone replying, "Well, excuse me if I don't want to be a decorative bear at the office picnic!" And let's not forget the confusion when someone says, "We need to rearrange the totem pole," and everyone starts looking for a forklift.
Maybe we should come up with a new metaphor for workplace hierarchy. How about "you're at the bottom of the coffee mug" or "you're the last slice of pizza in the breakroom"? Something a bit less culturally significant and more relatable. Just a thought.

So, I went to a Native American casino the other day, and let me tell you, it's a whole different world in there. The carpets are busier than a beehive, the lights are brighter than my future, and I think I got lost three times trying to find the restroom. But the best part is the slot machines. I swear, those things are like trying to decipher hieroglyphics. There are bonus rounds, free spins, and random symbols that make no sense. I spent an hour just pressing buttons, hoping for the best, and when I finally won $5, I felt like I'd cracked the Da Vinci Code.
And then there's the guilt. I'm sitting there thinking, "Is it okay for me to win money in a place that's supposed to be giving back to the community? Do I need to donate my winnings to a tribal college or something?" Maybe they should have a "donate your winnings" button right next to the spin button. It would clear up a lot of ethical confusion.

You know, growing up, I had this romanticized idea of cowboys and Indians. Thanks to Hollywood, I thought they were all best pals, like John Wayne and Tonto having a barbecue on the weekends. But then I learned about history, and it turns out it was more like Cowboys vs. Indians, and the barbecue was more of a battle than a friendly get-together. Now, whenever someone brings up cowboys and Indians, I'm like, "Are we talking about history or a really intense game of tag?" And don't get me started on cowboy movies where they're saving the day. I always wonder where the Native American heroes are. Can't we have a movie where the cowboy and the Indian team up to open a taco truck or something? I'd watch that!
