Every time someone who collects bones and taxidermy gives someone advice on the legality of keeping deceased birds based on the MBTA without bothering to check if the person is in a country where those laws apply, an angel loses its wings.

#people are really bad for it when it comes to Canadians because they don't realise we ditched the MBTA in 1994 #We have the MBCA! It is different!#vulture culture

Reading your posts about the r*se christo book was a bit harrowing--she did not give any sort of shit about respecting the Cree or even trying to tell a story without falling back on stale tropes. I'm so sorry. Authors like that make me wonder how best to approach Native people for research on my own book (which isn't about *being* Indigenous, one of the protags just happens to be Native), because if I do it clumsily I imagine they'll think "oh god another vulture" and that'll be entirely understandable. So if Christo were a different person and better writer, how would she have gone about this? Should she have called a Cree tribal office or Cree-run museum/cultural center and requested interviews (while offering to pay interviewees of course)? Should she have contacted a Cree college professor/phd student and explained that she wants to speak with Cree people for her book so she gets everything as correctly as possible?

I mean, the easiest way would've been for her to firstly research the actual historical event the book is based on, and then get a Cree (or multiple) sensitive readers & Beta readers to look through her work, even doing that wouldve vastly improved the thing. But there's shit in there that is just so embarrassingly wrong that Junior High Canadian students could have done better if they'd attempted it with no research. It also wouldn't have killed her to find an accurate Cree dictionary to keep the spelling consistent, or hire an actual Cree speaker to translate things for her, and to make sure she was actually getting things right. I also had an advantage in the critique of this book because I'm Cree, a descendant of the title character, & i also have oral history knowledge on the events, but even a lot of the plot of this book is easily researchable & available in books or fucking GOOGLE.

Im not really gunna go super into depth about what she could've done to actually make this work, because I also think at least some part of her knew what she was writing was inaccurate but she just decided to so that it would fit what she wanted to write anyway. Ayimisîs & Asiniwin were friends, yes, but they weren't gay or in love, but I dont think she cared about that (& I think she might fetishize gay Native men just from how she wrote about them). This book was a mixture of her not doing enough research (not by half), and the other half was her making up shit just because she didn't care or didn't want to, but wanted it to fit what she wanted for the book. Any amount of effort past briefly glancing at Wikipedia would have been more effort than what Christo had put in for this.

#like her writing that Cree people ate quinoa & peyote (two plants that do not grow in canada or even NORTH AMERICA)#or the characters saying they live in Alberta in 1885 when AB didnt become a province until 1905 #are some of the dumbest most easily googleable offenses in the book #anonymous

The Paper Stage is a webcomic of the Illustrati; an art collective of people who expressed enjoyment of how Canadian artist Ryan Lowrie draws people like a manic vulture of cultural parasitism. Stay curious

The “what more should I do” paralysis point never cleared up. I like it, I’m just stuck. So for now it’s done.

Canadian lynx.

So I fucked up hardcore on my first possum it got calcified and bones are missing but luckily I was able to find this sweetie out on the rez yesterday and went back today to collect sooooo fucking glad they weren't destroyed , picked up by the city or scavanaged by animals .

I posted pics to my personal fb and some of my friends asked if I was the one who killed them, OH GOD NO! Was my answer

Hey folks! Thought I'd just toss this out there just in case!

Are you a Canadian taxidermist/interested in vulture culture? Do you sell hides, fur, and/or bones?

Let me know! Reblog this, DM me, or however you want to let me know 😊 I'm looking into expanding my awareness of Canadian shop owners that I can purchase from in the future! It's difficult to find y'all!

Just found this skull at antique store! The lady who owned the store said she thought it was a lynx but she wasn't sure. The skull shape and eye sockets are throwing me off.

This is in interior Alaska if that helps.
