Red Haircrow (born 1972) is a writer, educator, psychologist and filmmaker of Chiricahua Apache, Cherokee and African American heritage. His work includes poetry, short stories, novellas and full-length books. His novel The Agony of Joy won Best LGBT Fiction in Global Ebooks Awards 2013, and the biography Silence Is Multi-Colored In My World about a young deaf, gay Russian was a winner of a Rainbow Award 2012 in the category Best Biography/Memoir. His non-fiction and current events articles are often on Native American issues and concerns, intercultural relations, family, and living and working in Germany. His current documentary film project Forget Winnetou is about Native stereotypes in Germany and the continuing harmful effects of colonialism and racism on both Native and non-Native communities and societies, which has been covered by some of Germany's largest new sources such as Deutschlandfunk Kultur,[1] Der Freitag [2] and Süddeutsche Zeitung.[3]
Life and career[edit]
Red Haircrow was born in Frankfurt, Germany, to American parents. His father was in the US Army. He is also a chef, holds a Master's in Native American Studies from Montana State University Bozeman, is a selective counselor (holding a BSc in Psychology from Columbia Southern University), and owns and operates the multimedia production company Flying With Red Haircrow, which opened on 31 October 2010.
Regarding Native current events, history and culture, Red Haircrow appeared in a Deutsche Welle video broadcast,[4] explaining why indigenous peoples in general would wish the return of human remains kept by the Karl May Museum in Radebeul, Germany, and other European museums and organizations. A video of the interview is also available on YouTube.[5] Since the end of 2013, Native American tribes had been lobbying for the repatriation of native scalps alleged to be kept at the museum.[6]
Haircrow has been asked to comment in Germany on Native cultural appropriation in pop culture and fashion, which has been the source of controversy and debate. Magazine and news sources include Global Post: "Dressing Up As Cowboys and Indians is Big in Germany"[7], which was republished in the Arizona news source Tucson Sentinel.[8] DeinPULS for "Indianerfedern als Modeaccessoire: Hirnloser Trend oder bewusste Provokation?"[9] also included a detailed interview with Red Haircrow,[10] which was broadcast by Bayerischer Rundfunk. Ex-Berliner Magazine featured commentary by Red Haircrow.[11] Mother Jones magazine included a mention on the Indian hobbyist sub-cultures in "Last of the Munichans" [12], and Stern, one of Germany's top news magazines, published an interview by Michael Streck on the topic of Indian Hobbyism in Europe.
As a writer and educator, primarily on topics in the social sciences, Red Haircrow occasionally speaks at workshops and lectures such as at "Tage des Indigenen Films 2014"[13] in Rostock, Germany, Humboldt University in Berlin, BREBIT, Saarbrücken University and several others. In 2018, Red Haircrow completed the documentary "Forget Winnetou! Loving in the Wrong Way" [14], one of the only films of its kind, which addresses the widespread stereotyping and appropriation of Native cultures in Germany from a Native perspective. Red Haircrow appeared earlier in 2018 in the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation film "Searching For Winnetou", a documentary by Drew Hayden Taylor, a First Nations writer, playwright and journalist. His article "Native Hobbyism is Modern Day Colonialism" [15], also at the CBC website, was a critical response to the humorous viewpoint. In 2019, Red Haircrow was interviewed by WDR on "The Indian Citizenship Act[16]" on how the USA's race-based policies of the past still affect society's behavior and treatment of Native Americans.
