Module 2 – Post 4 – Simon Moya-Smith

Simon Moya-Smith is a journalist currently working as a breaking news reporter for NBC and previously as a freelance writer and editor for Indian Country Today. I came upon him while researching indigenous “Wannabes” and found his blog titled “I Am Not a Mascot“. It is a personal blog in which he includes some writing that challenges many indigenous stereotypes, as well as poetry, and stories.  His entry titled “Ask an Indian: How to Spot American Indian Wannabes and A Counterfeit Culture: Too Many Cherokees to Count” is an entertaining and sarcastic guide on the “wannabe” culture.
