Joey Clift
I had a wonderful chat with Joey Clift. He is a writer on Spirit Rangers, which just got renewed for season 2! Woot woot!
Joey has also created amazing short films like My First Native American Boyfriend and How To Cope With Your Team Changing Its Native American Mascot.
We talk a bit about the Spirit Rangers premiere, in addition to how the show came to be. We also touch on the state of Native American representation today. While I typically speculate on, “Where do we go from here…” I feel that Joey’s opinion and perspective on this topic is the most unique one that has been aired on the podcast.
So check this episode out! Enjoy and let me know what you think, talk to you later.

Thanks for interviewing Jon Proudstar and signal boosting his Tribal Force Kickstarter. I am so hyped for his new comic!

I'm so happy that Native kids get to grow up with shows like Spirit Rangers. It's even better that Spirit Rangers depicts specific tribes instead of a fictional pan-Indian tribe. I don't hate that trope, but depicting real tribes help stories feel more real.
