So apparently someone has been watching me trying to learn the piano. I was practicing and she jumped down and at first I thought she was just going to bite at my hand - (she gets possessive over MY ipad)  but instead she started playing… I was like… what.. Good girl!!! We’re starting a band.

In many ‘Spaghetti Western’ films, a broad sub-genre of American Western films that emerged during the 1960s in the midst of Sergio Leone’s film-making success, many of the vuglar roles Native Americans were hired to act in forced them into offensive portrayals with little attention paid to authenticity, with emphasis only placed on painting them as “simple savages.” As a result, many American filmmakers paid little attention to actually translating the indigenous languages for what they were saying on screen. As a result, many actors were able to say what they really felt.

This is such a good documentary, guys. I try and convince all my students to watch it. It was made by Neil Diamond, a Cree filmmaker, and it’s an utterly fascinating look at portrayals of indigenous peoples in North American cinema. 

Moon pillars are a type of light pillar. Moon pillars occur when the Moon is low enough in the sky to be close to the horizon.  The ice crystals involved are generally flat or columnated, allowing a vertical beam of light to reflect above and below the Moon in a straight line. (Source)
