My brain hurts after finding out The Minecraft Movie was the big earner for the year.
I get it, the game is beyond popular, it's viral, but the brain still kind of hurts to see it.

I mean this one has been out for a while. Confirmation from King has been incoming for some time.
Its a difficult one for me, becaue King's books meant a lot to me growing up. There weren't a lot of Indigenous protagonists in fiction at the time.
Still, I'm really tired of this story.

Doing a research project and even after a small amount of reasearch on First Nations/Inuit/Metis artist, I am finding conflicting information between online and practical sources.
Also, I feel sad that some of these amazing artists don't have huge biographies written about them.

Watching this show, I was so uncomfortable with how they were trying to make someone this beautiful seem like they were ugly.
I stopped watching it because it was such a dumb premise.

I don't want to see young artists of Native ancestry paint themselves into a box in their search for authenticity. Every artist paints from the own cultural heritage and their own experience. Whatever you heritage, it will come out in your brush.
