HOLY SHIT. Mind=Blown. So I've posted before re: the b.s. that is #Ilvermorny history but I always focused on Thunderbird and Horned Serpent being used and because of that it's taken me this long to realize wtf a Pukwudgie is. This weird English pronunciation "Puck-wadgee" threw me off. It's Pagodjinnini (Pagodjini singular) in my language. We also normally don't talk about them to outsiders so thanks for that JKR ? I'm angry all over again.
queerbookreader Ugh god every time I look into her American history of magic I discover ~new and magical ways~ in which she has appropriated and erased cultures and histories that do not belong to her at all. And the worst part is it's been so long since she's published it, but she hasn't said anything about it!!!!! No "sorry folks I guess I cocked it up", no "my bad on clearly not consulting with literally anyone who knows anything about north American history" 6y
teebe @queerbookreader I don't think she'll ever comment on it, despite her reputation of being "woke". And on top of the appropriation, I guess there's some evidence that the art for the Ilvermorny houses was ripped off. It's all piling up. 6y
