I just saw this on Mastodon, posted by the amazing Maurice. This is just beautiful. Here’s the information that my man provided over on Mastodon:
I came across this on one of the other sites and it really shook me. The art is from the story “Dorvan V” by Canadian Cree artist Alina Pete from the comics anthology Indiginerds: Tales from Modern Indigenous Life, which is coming out in July.
The episode doesn’t conflate the cultures or mythologies at all. Walking Bear talks about his interest in the folklores of the American continents in the first few minutes of the episode.
I’m afraid he says that it’s his own culture. I just checked. He says he studies ancient Earth cultures, especially his own.
Yeah, that’s what he says. I just watched the episode. That statement doesn’t imply that Comanche culture is Maya culture — both of which are explicitly named in the dialogue.
