"Dear Santa,

I’ve been good this year. Please bring all of this stuff for me and my big Indian family:

For my mom, please bring Sister Sky bath and beauty products made from natural indigenous ingredients. They will make her feel so good.

For my dad, please bring him all the Umqua Indian Foods beef jerky he can eat. He loves the stuff.

For my younger brother, please bring him a pair of custom-made Eighth Generation shoes, size 8. Louie Gong is awesome.

For my older brother, please bring him Sherman Alexie’s book The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. I don’t like to read but he does.

For my older sister, please bring her Gyasi Ross. She really needs a boyfriend and he’s pretty cool. If Gyasi’s out of stock, please bring her a Litefoot CD.

For my cousins, please bring them cool gear from Native Threads. They’ll be psyched with a new hoodie or hat."
