a big brady brave greeting to the million brady brave readers out there. (a million or a hundred, something like that with some zeroes in it.) many thanks to old friends and new ones for reading. many thanks as well to those of you writing the bureau of brady braves (brady_braves_bureau@yahoo.com) with your praise and kindness. many thanks to www.racialicious.com/ for posting the bbb's bit on the civil rights game (back in march) and more recent bit on martha stewart. in a bit of a bloggin' slump right now as we work on several projects and likely prepare to relocate the redface "bureau" to elsewhere in indian country. (may soon return to central time zone, i.e., texas time). also rethinking the current brady brave boundaries and approach for the content here.
meanwhile, the bbb still expects to return with posts next week, quicker'n you can say carol-marsha-jan-cindy-mike-peter-bobby-greg-alice-sam-tiger-cousin oliver-and chief eagle cloud. (a special smoke signal shout-out to angie, brady bravin' fan! this list-a-familiar names is dedicated to you.)
peace,
bbb

here at the bureau of brady braves, we deliver news and views on playing "indian" and offer alter-Native stories on real Ind'ns not playing "Indian." inspired by the brady bunch episode "brady braves"--where the bradys become the 1st sitcom family to be "adopted" into an NDN "tribe"--this site serves to heighten awareness of redface/redvoice, to analyze one's "play" and "honoring" at another's expense, and to prove the theory that all the world is, indeed, a cherokee.
The Bureau of Brady Braves Staff (Underwritten by the folks at "Alter-Native Personae, Inc.")
*D. Tah mah ke ra, dual Comanche Nation and American Citizen, is the founder and editor of BradyBraves.Blogspot.com. Supporter of reciprocal edu-tainment. Envisions future summers of retirement in Tipi #49 in that open field east of I-44.
*Brady, the blog's head writer of satirical spin, illegally changed his name to "Brady Brave" in 2006 in honor of the 35th birthday of the Brady Bunch episode "Brady Braves."
*Bobby NewBuffalo is a part-time writer who arguably tires of tired arguments on how Indn's should feel honored by objectification yet still demonstrates a straight-faced patience like a turtle on an eight-lane highway. Mr. NewBuffalo likens himself to an indigenized cross between Drs. Bob Newhart (the Chicago psychiatrist, not the Vermont innkeeper) and Frasier Crane.
*Cousin Oliver, the Bureau's secretary, rarely appears; and when he does, he is--like his Brady Bunch counterpart--rather annoying.
