Stereotype

endless Native American Cherokee stereotypes
gift shops, wigwam motels, war bonnets
plastic images of bear totems on and in everything
a vanishing, an usurpation

yet rural street signs lettered in English
are subtitled in Tsalagi Gawonihisdi
a cost efficient nod to a stolen nation
seen from a window at the Super 8
