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.
