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:

Reminder that s**aw is an extremely harmful slur against Native women, do NOT use this term if you are not Native American.
