Episode 121, Noah Nez, Native Skeptic
First we touch on "Plandemic," then we talk "murder hornets" with Heidi McMaster, an invasive species coordinator. Noah Nez, who blogs as the Native Skeptic, opens up on a variety of topics: the noble savage trope, crown dancers, clowns/tricksters, and the co-opting of native traditions in cryptid pseudohistories. The varied nature of native legends makes for an easily misinterpreted, commodified, and exploited landscape. From herbal remedies to horror films to Skinwalker Ranch, we see what we can learn.
