Had a chat with a buddy about the term 'Spirit Animal' and its linguistic attachment to one particular culture. Interesting. Would love to hear thoughts from actual Native Americans on the topic :)

Important to note this is not a pan-NativeAm thing but rather more specific to one group of Native ppl: the Anishinaabe. Thus despite being Native myself, it is not a tradition of mine or something I can appropriate. Here's an actual Anishinaabe's opinion:https://twitter.com/Polychromantium/status/960210356629995523 …

Mari: a Nahkawē (Saulteaux Ojibwe tribe) writer @wordglassDear NonNatives: Nothing is your spirit animal. Not a person, place or thing. Nothing is your spirit animal. You do not get one. Spirit animals derive from Anishinaabe and other tribes deeply held religious beliefs. pic.twitter.com/AEwIJTgczCShow this thread3 replies 3 retweets 21 likes
