"Zombies have seized popular culture, fromĀ The SimpsonsĀ to an undeadĀ Pride and Prejudice. But what would the zombie apocalypse look like in Indian Country? That was a serious topic of conversation at the first Indigenous Comic Con last year, when two speakers, Johnnie Jae and Jackie Malstrom, offered this encouragement: Native Americans have already survived one apocalypse; those skills can surely scare the zombies away. Jae and Malstrom are the duo behind A Tribe Called Geek, an online community for Native people who dig things like science fiction, comics, and zombies. They bill themselves as āindiginerdsā and say their site is āfor the geeks at the powwow.ā Meet them and others whenĀ Indigenous Comic ConĀ takes over Isleta Resort and Casino,Ā November 10ā12. Much like a regular comics conventionāpanel discussions, a big exhibit hall full of vendors, attendees dressed as their favorite charactersāthis one also includes people like Juwan Lakota. https://www.newmexico.org/nmmagazine/articles/post/zombie-powwow-go-see-do-november-2017/ #atribecalledgeek #indigenerds #indigenouscomiccon #icc2017
