Dances With Scarves
I noticed something the other day watching the credits for some movie I was watching. When actors get cast as “featured extras” or “essentials” or “under 5’s” or whatever in a film…the character name they get in the credits sounds like a Native American moniker:
“Refugee Climbing Fence”
“Fleeing Pedestrian”
“Yelling German Tourist”
And it made me laugh. I have a friend who is Native American, and sober, and we both wanted to know what you are called at a treatment center for alcohol if you have a Native American name like that. When you are in treatment, they don’t use your last name:
“Joe L.”
or
“Jim G.”
Would that make your Native American sober name:
“Dances with W.”
or
“Stands with an F.”
Just something to ponder, I guess.
