Look at Sue.

Hey, Sue!

- Oh... - Damn.

- Fuck you, too, Sue. - That was for you.

Started walking, and all of a sudden you're

God's gift to the Rez.

Did you see that Facebook group she started?

- What? - It's like a walking group.

I got a invite the other day.

I was like, "Fuck no."

Fucking kidding me?

I'm not gonna go walking

with all the aunties.

I'd rather die.

You going to the conference this weekend?

I don't think so.

Feel like I should stick around

with everything Bear's going through.

There's always something going on with those shit asses.

Emotions, hormones, shit.

He'll be fine.

Shit, he's the same age you were when you had him.

Why would you say that?

I-I think you were a really responsible teen mom.

And he'll be a good teen dad.

I don't want him to be a teen dad.

Listen to me.

White people go to Cancún.

We go to IHS conferences.

Okay? It's our way.

If anything happens, don't call 911, okay?

It's too expensive.

Just call Leon.

Mom, I know.

Don't worry.

I'm just gonna kick my feet up...

rest the old bones.

It'll be good not being on a roof all day.

Working man.

- Mmm. - You earned it.

You deserve a weekend away, too.

Just working all the time.

It's a conference.

It's still work.

The problem is

the understanding of sovereignty.

It's become a catchall term

that's lost a lot of its meaning.

The future of Indian health is sustainable programming

away from the shackles of the U.S. government-provided care.

Think of it like, say,

I don't know, a relationship.

The energy you provide is only as healthy

as the energy you give yourself.

Then again,

what do I know about healthy relationships?

I'm just an Indian man, right?

Joking aside, sustainable tribal health

takes investment in ourselves.

- Hi. - Scholarships, support,

and eventually facilities and equipment.

It might take a long time, but we are

- absolutely worth it. - Hey, girl.

- What? - These goals of self-sufficient

health services probably aren't achievable in my lifetime.

- But I believe in the future of our people. - Shh.

And it is for the future that I do my work.

Small steps.

But every step taken is part

- of the journey to true sovereignty. - Yeah.

As you attend your workshops this weekend,

bear in mind the power

that you carry as Native people.

Let's wield that power together.

I'll wield my power on you.

No ring. No hickeys.

- Mmm. - I call shotgun.

Power to the matriarchs! Women are sacred!

- Probably got a white wife. - Don't count.

And what about you, Dr. Kang?

You snag?

What's "snag"?

Noncommittal sex with someone

you're definitely gonna see again.

See these? These are my kills.

You get one anytime you snag

with somebody from the host tribe.

Impressive achievements, Beverly.

Well, there's one out there for you.

- Me? - Yeah.

Maybe Crow, maybe Delaware.

- Delaware. - Chickasaw.

Chickasaw.

- Ho-Chunk. - Ho-Chunks.

But watch out for bad medicine, though.

Yeah, wear socks.

Medicine comes up through your feet.

- Mm. - "Socks... wear them."

Welcome, ladies.

Here we have a-a crystal dildo.

- Wow. - Heals from within.

- Hmm. - Cleanses away

spiritually-transmitted diseases.

- Mmm. - Yeah, sister. It's okay.

- That's for you. - Damn. - Wow.

You guys got kids?

Yeah, I got one.

- Three. - Not yet.

- A niece. - Ah. Okay.

So, you two, this is for you.

A workout of your pelvic floor.

This stuff will tighten you up.

Just perfect.

And for our other sisters...

Oh, God, this is good.

This is on the house.

- Hmm. Thanks. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - I love her.

Eyes down, ladies.

Seminoles can impregnate you with a single stare.

God.

That's how we used to look way back in the day.

Look at that! Look at that!

Oh, you got to engage like that.

But we do...

Oh, Natalie, there's your ex.

...helps you to improve your video game focus.

Exes.

I snagged Jumbo, too.

Natalie!

And Beverly! You got my lanyard in there?

I need edibles.

Rita, check out your snag.

- Sam! - What are you doing?

There's a free seat here! Setting you up for success.

You got to lock that down

- before someone else does. - Thanks.

- May I? - Yeah, it's all yours.

You're welcome.

What you reading?

Man Moon by Beau Harrison.

It's about recognizing our sacred feminine.

Hmm. I love fiction.

Mm. So, where are you from?

- From Chinle. - Yeah.

It's in Arizona in the middle of the Navajo Nation.

I work there. What's your dad's name?

- Alfred. - Oh.

You were just a little guy when I saw him.

What's it... what-what's it like there in Arizona?

It's beautiful... the canyon,

Canyon de Chelly.

You should go visit sometime.

Yeah. I'd like that. Sounds hot.

You have any kids?

Not that I know of.

- I'm a mom. - How old?

He's a teenager.

- High school, huh? - Yeah.

That's when they go for the jugular.

I always knew I wanted to help my people.

I just didn't know how.

I wanted to see more people like us in the hospital, you know?

So I went back to school to get my medical degree.

And it was a hard time being away for so long,

but it's nice to be back in the community now,

even if it's not my own.

That's really cool.

I always wanted to go away to school.

I told everyone I was gonna go to New York

and smoke cigarettes on a fire escape.

Just something I saw in a movie once.

So, did you?

No. No, I didn't do any of that.

Maybe when my son is grown up and out of the house.

There's just so many things I want to do.

I'll have to take you to my favorite pizza spot

out there sometime.

Yeah. I'd like that.

It's my floor.

I'll see you, uh, at the bar later?

Yeah, for sure.

Oh.

- Ooh. So pretty. - Oh. Wow. - Smells good.

- It does smell good. - Smells like

my grandma's underwear drawer.

Okay. Rita?

Biska needs some attention.

Wait. Wait. Wait. Sit with your butt back.

- Mmm. - So your vag can go right

- close to the steam. - Oh. Oh!

- That's it. - Don't burn it.

Oh.

Oh, there it is.

- Try to, like, inhale from your... - Oh.

- Yeah? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Okay. - Okay.

Oh, yeah.

How come we've never steamed our biskas before?

We probably used to.

- Yeah, old ways. - All right, now focus. - All right.

- Mm-hmm. - And ask for what you want.

Like, out loud?

Doesn't say.

Wish for a giant hvsh.

Yeah. Not too giant.

- Medium. - Medium, okay.

- Fits just right. - Long, long orgasm.

- Yeah. - Multiple. Lots of 'em.

- Yes, multiple. - Like an hour long. - Okay.

- Handcuffs. - Yeah.

- Just a little rough. - Yeah.

He's, like, fast like a rabbit.

- No, I don't like that. - New baby daddy.

- Dr. Dad. - Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Ooh! Oh. Whew!

Fuck.

What?

Fuck, I feel powerful.

It works!

Oh, shit. Bear called.

I'm next.

- What's up, Mom? - Hey, Bear.

How you doing?

Yeah, I'm doing good.

- How's the conference? - Yeah, it's good.

Yeah. Um...

All right, and focus...

Did you get a pizza with that money I left you?

Yeah. It just got here.

Okay, good. And there's also frozen waffles

in the freezer if you need them for breakfast.

Let me know if you need anything else, okay?

No, I'll be good. Probably just gonna get some sleep anyways.

Yeah, me, too. It was a long day.

You know, I'm tired. All right, well,

- I love you, Bear. - All right. Love you, too, Mom.

Bye.

We good!

Remember that time we stole your mom's car,

and we crashed it into the creek?

- Oh, shit. - Oh, my God. - Like, fucked it right up?

- It flooded the engine. - Oh, my God.

We were trying to go to that party

down in Bumfuck somewhere.

Your homecoming crown... It was stuck in the mud

and just, like, all broken and shit and all fucked-up.

- I went back to get it, though. - That's right.

That was the first night I ever snagged.

- The beginning of my ho days. - Shit.

I miss being a shit ass.

Mmm. Me, too. I don't want to do dishes anymore.

- Word. - No.

Y'all ever feel like

we just went from being kids to women overnight?

- Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm.

And no one even asked us.

Just expected to be all sacred and tradish all the time.

Ugh. It's a lot, right?

- Mm-hmm. - Cleaning, cooking, mom-ing.

Sewing, beading, weaving.

Learning knowledge, keeping knowledge,

teaching knowledge,

- making humans. - Mm.

Picking people up from the drunk tank.

Oh.

That's why we need nights like this.

So we can cut loose

and let all that shit go sometimes.

Easy for you to say.

What's that supposed to mean?

You don't have any kids.

- Neither does Bev. - Well, I got a niece.

Shit's hard.

I'm not her mom, but I got to be one to her.

She puts up with me,

but think she's gonna burn all her hair off

with all that bleach.

- Little shit ass runaway. Fuck. - Yeah, see?

You get to pick and choose what you want to be a part of.

We don't get to.

You think that's easier?

I'm just saying that you don't have

to deal with the same things that we do. You're lucky.

You don't know what I have to deal with, Rita. None of you do.

Yeah, because you left.

Well, what was I supposed to do?

Waste my life working the gas station, pumping out babies?

That's what you might tell yourself, but the truth is,

is that you bailed on us after Cookie died.

Rita, I went to school,

I worked, I joined the fucking mili...

You know what?

Fuck this.

I'm still snagging.

Don't matter. I think a niece swooped him.

Oof. Brutal.

Used to it, though.

In the city, men don't even look at you if you're over 25.

I don't get it.

Everyone talks about honoring women.

"You're beautiful matriarchs."

Except no one's doing shit for us,

not even giving us orgasms.

I just want to feel sexy again.

I'd kill to have kids and work at IHS.

It's lonely being so far away.

Sometimes I wish I could get into, like, a mild accident.

So I could go to the hospital for, like, five days to a week.

Have some free food

and have people take care of me.

Get a comfy bed and those wool socks that they give you.

You know, that huge jug of water that's always iced

with crushed ice.

Just so I could be alone.

So, you mean, like, a vacation?

Well, yeah, that's what I'd have to do to get one.

I wish things were simpler.

I miss when we could all just

sit in bed all day, the three of us, and watch TV.
