First Nations Man and His Wife, 1886.  

via Glenbow Museum

omg look at her face she knows whats up

ACK

This is a great picture of a beautiful First Nations couple, but who are they? Where did they come from?

We are left with absolutely no idea as to who they were.  

That bugs the hell out of me.

^ I agree. I feel like that is often an issue (particularly for some POC in America).

Where… somewhere between them (in the picture) and us, the European got involved, right? And, we sometimes have to go through the European for our extended memory. 

But the European doesn’t like to remember much about them… at all. And, sometimes, we’re just left with these glimpses (the same uninvolved glance they give us today when they look at us sometimes).

It makes me nervous about the future. Whose gonna be looking at my picture one day… what will they think about me? Will they know anything about me… or will this be a time where we’re erased?

I wish there was more about them.

[Image: Gifs of Cinderella and Prince Christopher talking on a crowded street and of the two of them smiling at each other.]

Cinderella: I’m not sure I want to meet this stranger. I doubt if he has any idea how a girl should be treated.
Christopher: Like a princess, I suppose.
Cinderella: No! Like a person with kindness and respect.

My most favorite version of Cinderella. Can we talk about how BOTH main characters are people of color. Prince Charming is Asian and the most captivating person in the village is an african American woman who believes in kindness and respect? Let’s talk about it. Let’s have a full conversation about it.

No one… NO ONE will ever understand how happy this movie makes me.

No one.

when i was younger, i wanted to be asian prince charming

Love this film for so many reasons. I was so obsessed with Brandy back in the day. Prince Charming was too too fine.
