6/23/2023 0 Comments Godhead 1 by Ho Che Anderson2 So, between the Internet and the people I can rely on, I write Southern Tutchone into all my comics.ĬR: Have you been surprised by the success of Dakwäkãda Warriors?ĬP: Oh, yeah. I often use resources from the Yukon Native Language Centre to help me with this, but I also have a couple of language preservers, Vivian Smith and Kershaw, that I can contact, as well. There have been so many decades of misrepresentation of Indigenous people in all media but especially in comics, so finding ways to incorporate my hometown’s language into my work has been important to me. I use a lot of Southern Tutchone in my comics to reclaim Indigenous space in the comics scene. I did three issues of it, and Conundrum Press released the collection two Septembers ago (2019). 1 It’s about Indigenous Power Rangers Wolf and Crow, who fight against evil pioneers and a cyborg sasquatch. It’s bilingual, so it has English and Southern Tutchone in it.
