Rez life for Swaye

RaceBannon

Back in the day we worked on the Tulalip Casino Hotel expansion. One of the rules of the contract was that every sub had to hire at least one rezident to work with them.

It shows how our noble Red Man has learned well from his Sicilian friends on how things get done.

We got a kid who was struggling with life to say the least. I took a shower with him liking to him and spent time talking to him. He knew and I knew that he didn't have to work but I pointed out that he could actually, you know, learn a trade as long as he was showing up and getting paid. Help fight the boredom.

He started doing so and was told to knock it off. I guess Rez politics are a lot like white politics, keep them dependent. He was actually kind of bummed and a little nervous.

I'm not sure why this popped into my mind or what it means other than almost anything we try is going to get fucked up because - people.

And I long for the days of driving Tonka over the cliff for food and fur. Simpler times

So much for TUFF liberal dads.

Sad.

Another similar story I had a neighbor in Phoenix that was from a tribe on a Rez in Oklahoma. He had a house and everything there just waiting for him. However, if he wanted to make his own income he was not allowed to live there. Tribe rulez.

The rez is some crazy shit. Basically, if you have any dreams or ambition you have to leave. Unless you work at the casino.

I like story time with Race.

I am a huge Sherman Alexie minion. Mostly because he hoops but also because his stories are good reads on the human condition. I never get the sense that he blames whitey for every shitty thing that has happened in his life - but acknowledges that whitey fucked the red man in the past and soldiers on. Life is fucking hard. Deal.

Plus he writes about shit like beating off and grabbing tits and other stuff that I like.

Looking forward to diving in to his new memoir this weekend.

The new book is dark.

Other Indians are mad that he is shining a light on fucked up rez life.

Last summer I was driving through the Warm Springs Rez and three Swayes were running a train on some girl on the hood of a car right next to the fucking highway.

Savages.

I was sailing through Swinomish territory and a few drunk engines put a couple of shots across my bow with a rifle.

My ancestors would have landed and razed the entire village. I smoked a spliff and got the fuck out of there.
