hey ben. the guy in the picture here is an actual person, my friend’s dad, and a spiritual leader of Lakota people, Chief Arvol Looking Horse. not only does he support Indigenous People’s Day, he’s the founder of World Peace and Prayer Day. feels weird to use his image and not his name.

I’m a big fan of the onion, but this piece has always been a little weird to me because most Indigenous People don’t support Columbus Day and actually fought pretty hard against it. and we can ask for one day in addition to landback.

if people would like to hear more from him, he does a lot of advocacy work and there are many of his speeches and stories on youtube

also just going to say, the fake name…chief longtoe? pretty racist and abenaki people don’t wear plains headdresses okay i am done

wonder if he even knew a photo was being taken for a stock image, or if the photographer just sold the photo without bothering with a model release?

his name and details are also on the getty image, so none of this was a mystery
