Abstract
- Features AN INDIAN NAMED COWBOY ONCE TOLD A LECTURE hall full of Frenchmen that us Natives are a postapocalyptic people. So when this latest apocalypse, the coronavirus, hit, I picked up my notebook and recorder and contacted a few wise friends and sources across Indian Country to check Cowboy's hypothesis. On the Yankton Reservation in South Dakota, Faith Spotted Eagle, a Dakota activist and kunsi (grandmother, pronounced "koo-she"), has some ideas about what it might look like for Native people to lead such a fight. ONE NIGHT, AFTER SPEAKING WITH HAALAND, Sharp, and Spotted Eagle, I thought back to a plan that Cowboy hatched to buy Castle Calgary in Scotland and rename it mohkínstsis, which means "elbow" in his language.
