Published 8 days ago • 9 min read
Reader Are you ready for a great week!
I’m writing this first thing this morning, and as soon as I finish, I’m heading to the theater to see Project Hail Mary. It’s one of my favorite books of all time, and I’ve been looking forward to this movie for a long time.
Now, I’ll be honest, I don’t go to the movies much these days. I’m old and curmudgeonly enough now that people being on their phones, talking during the movie, and generally acting like they’re in their living room drives me a little crazy. I’d usually much rather wait and watch something at home.
But this one is getting such great reviews, and I love the book so much, I’m willing to risk it and head out for a lunchtime showing.
We’re also now just a little over 30 days away from Gathering of Nations, which is hard to believe. Our hotel reservations are made, flights are book and we are ready!
If Gathering is on your bucket list, now is the time to start making plans. We’ve been putting together all kinds of information to help you get ready, so be sure to check out our Gathering of Nations coverage and start planning your trip to Albuquerque.
And one more thing I’m really excited about Reader...
Last week I rolled out a brand new weekly newsletter all about Native history.
Over the years, I’ve had a lot of people ask me questions about Native history, important people, major events, treaties, court decisions, laws, and even Native representation in pop culture.
Each week, I’ll share Native history highlights including births, deaths, landmark moments, policies, cultural milestones, and stories you probably never learned in school.
This is a paid weekly newsletter with a small subscription fee, and as part of the kickoff, you can get 20% off your first 6 months when you subscribe today.
If you enjoy learning more about Native history and want to support what we’re building here at PowWows.com, I hope you’ll check it out.
While most cultures around the world have a version of fried dough – sopapillas, beignets, doughnuts etc. none is so versatile as Indian frybread.
Dipped in soup or berry gravy, smothered with honey butter or powdered sugar, or served as an Indian taco. Frybread turns into a favorite of all who eat it.
Many American Indian cultures have their traditional bread, usually made from corn or acorn flour. While wheat flour is not indigenous to Native America since the ration days reservation women have used real ingenuity to use foreign ingredients to feed their families. Rations included flour, oil, and yeast or baking powder. The original recipe for frybread is not recorded and was probably created in different areas at the same time.
Red Wolf, a Marvel comic that has been around since its debut in 1970 and was published in Avengers #80, is getting revamped by writers Ben Jackendoff and Taboo Nawasha—from the Black Eyed Peas—and will be titled Werewolf by Night.
The original Red Wolf was the first Marvel comic to feature a Native American superhero and Werewolf by Night will continue the story through a Native lens, which is very important to its authors.
If you haven’t checked the Pow Wow Calendar lately, go take a look because we’ve been adding a ton of updates as events roll in.
And if you want the easiest way to keep everything handy, the March edition of our Pow Wow Calendar Book is ready. You can download the full 12 months and keep it on your laptop or phone so it’s always right there when you’re planning your next trip.
If you have not joined The Circle yet, I’d love to invite you in.
It’s become such a fun place for Pow Wow fans, Native culture supporters, and our whole community to hang out beyond the newsletter. People are sharing stories, asking questions, posting photos, helping each other, and just having real conversations. It feels a lot more like sitting around and talking with friends than scrolling through another social feed.
And this week’s conversation starter is a fun one:
If you could erase ONE movie sequel or reboot from existence, what are you deleting?
You know there are some strong opinions on this one.
Come jump into the conversation, see what everybody else is saying, and add your pick too. I always love seeing where these discussions go.
