EP05 Pt 2 S01: Popularizing Tattoos in the White-Stream World: Tattooing, Colonization, and Appropriation Pt. 2

Send us Fan MailHalito Everyone! In this episode: Popularizing Tattoos in the White-Stream World: Tattooing, Colonization, and Appropriation Pt. 2, we will be exploring the 1900s-present covering feminism, the 1940s, 1960-1980s, and the current Indigenous Tattoo Revitalization Movement. In this episode we also discuss the issue around Quannah Chasinghorse, Angelina Joelie, and the mouth cuff made by Mvskoke artist Hotvlkuce Harjo - who goes by @dommivera on Instagram.  This will be the final episode of this first series on history. In February we will move into our second series where we share and discuss interviews from Choctaw women and 2SLGBTQ+ folks who are anticipating receiving traditional tattoos in the future. At this time, we are looking for any traditionally tattooed native people who are interested in the possibility of being interviewed for our third series. That series will feature traditionally tattooed native folks sharing their experiences of what it is like to bear traditional tattoos. Its our hope that the insight and advice of these individuals will help to prepare our original group of Choctaw women and 2SLGBTQ+ folks as well as all southeastern and native listeners of the podcast who are also considering receiving traditional tattoos of their tribal nations. If you are interested in being interviewed, please email us at [email protected] or direct message us on our Instagram or Facebook. As of the release of this podcast, we will have officially launched our Patreon. For those unfamiliar with Patreon, it is a paid membership platform that offers member exclusive opportunities - that includes access to exclusive merch, behind the scenes looks at our processes, Patreon exclusive access to community, etc. At this time, this project and podcast have been primarily volunteer-based. Becoming a member of our Patreon, or a Patron, helps to support our endeavors to produce this podcast, run our social media, research, and ultimately finance our larger project which is to aid in the revitalization of Southeastern tattoos. You can support the Inchunwa podcast and project for as little as $1 a month. At this time, there are 4 membership tiers: Iskvlli Achvffa (our $1 a month tier), Iskvlli Tahlapi (our $5 a month tier), Iskvlli Pokkoli (our $10 a month tier), micha Iskvlli Awah Tahlapi (our $15 a month tier). Over the next few days we will post more about the benefit of each of these tiers. Additionally, we'd really love to show how much we care and appreciate all the folks who become our Patrons. For the first 25 Patrons, we'll be sending out cards featuring the work of @nitaohoyo. If framed, these cards will make great art for your home, office, etc. Furthermore, as promised in the second episode, we'll be making the interview with Dr. Michelle Johnson-Jennings available to all tier levels. We are super excited about this opportunity to further build community, provide ya'll with exclusive content, and a peek into our process!Yakoke hoke to all of our listeners for joining us yet again for this episode of Inchunwa.
