[00:00:00:20 - 00:00:11:04] Telling people you're Native American when you're not Native is a lot like telling a bear you're a bear when you're not a bear. If you tell a bear you're a bear when you're not a bear, you will get mauled by that bear. [00:00:12:11 - 00:00:18:16] If you wear the traditional clothing of a bear when telling a bear that you are also a bear, you'll get mauled by that bear. [00:00:20:14 - 00:00:34:03] If you tell a bear you're one-sixteenth bear but you don't know what kind of bear and you've never bothered to research your bear culture and you think you have more right to an opinion about bear issues than the actual bear standing in front of you, you're going to get mauled by that bear. [00:00:35:03 - 00:00:53:19] If you make products with a bear's face on it, and even though you've made a billion dollars off of it and the bear has clearly said they don't like it and you don't give any of the money you've earned to bears in need until you're guilted into it decades after you started doing it, you and that bear are fine. Just kidding, you're going to get mauled by that bear. [00:00:55:00 - 00:01:03:14] If you tell a bear that lions are your spirit animal, you're going to get mauled by that bear and the lion. [00:01:05:12 - 00:01:16:29] If you, a non-bear, make friends with a bear, learn their bear culture and language, and then get mad when the bear doesn't ask you to be a member of their bear clan or give you a bear naming ceremony, you're going to get mauled by that bear. [00:01:18:00 - 00:01:23:08] Also, bears don't have naming ceremonies, so that request is stupid. [00:01:28:02 - 00:01:39:14] And if you tell people you're a bear, even though you know full well that you're not a bear just to get jobs and opportunities that are set aside for bears, you're going to get mauled by a butterfly. [00:01:42:09 - 00:01:47:06] The bear would maul you, but he's in a business meeting. Wait, meeting's over. Hey, I thought we were not-- [00:01:49:00 - 00:01:57:00] Ouch, though! So, in conclusion, if you're cool to Native Americans, you will not get mauled by a bear. The end.
