moatakni-native: doyoumisterjones: doyoumisterjones: A mini project done on Lakota Identity with some fellow students at Oglala Lakota College. Project conceived by Elaine Yellow Horse (second photo). Photographs/editing by me (doyoumisterjones). Additional help by Anna Takes Shield (last photo.) Because I’ve seen other people expressing confusion about this, I figured I should attach my answer to this ask: Wonderful information on Lakota hair and protocol. Thank you for sharing. Reminder that s**aw is an extremely harmful slur against Native women, do NOT use this term if you are not Native American. -Chantel

I had no idea such a word existed as a slur. Thank you for saving me from what could have potentially been a supremely awkward bird impersonation.
