Ilvermorny sorting quiz

Hey guys, i'm looking for a good, accurate quiz for my ilvermorny house. are there any that you would recommend?

(i'm definitely not an expert on any of these tribes, or my own for that matter, so i'm sorry if this is inaccurate)

I briefly touched on the cherry picking and cultural appropriation of native tribes in one of my posts from a few months ago but i never really went into detail so here you go lol

As many of you know, the story of the ilvermorny houses is a pretty straightforward one. isolt, james, and their adopted sons named the four houses after their favorite north american magical creatures, but what many people do not know is that these four 'creatures' have some pretty deep roots in native american culture.

The pukwudgie is a part of the wampanoag tribes folklores, and is known as a creature that will lure in people and trick them into meeting their doom. It is said that they used to be kind to people, but now is better off left alone for everyone’s sake.

The thunderbird is a large part of many native american beliefs, it is seen as a sign of strength, and is used in much of their art, songs, and other spiritual cultures. It is said to have x shapes in its wings, and when flapped create thunder strong enough to keep away the evil, and are sent from the sun himself.

The horned serpent also had lots to do with the thunder and rains. It is a creature covered in iridescent scales and a crystal on its head, both of which are used for the powers of divination.

Then finally the wampus. The wampus is a cat that’s a part of cheroee folklore and is said to still haunt the woods of tennessee, it is very similar to an ewah which is a cougar like creature in cherokee mythology.

It cannot simply be let off as 'fiction', because it isn't. these figures, the pukwudgie, thunderbird, etc. are very real. furthermore, no native american representation was present in her narrative, when yet the concepts had been taken directly from current and sacred indigenous culture. unlike the way she made hogwarts her own, rowling failed to even bother to change their names from their true ones. some may call this criticism as over exaggerative, but Rowling has truly stepped beyond her bounds here. her depiction of native figures is rather problematic.

This story, school, and houses were created years ago, yet no one ever talks about the massive cultural appropriation throughout the entirety of ilvermorny.

As Dr. Adrienne Keene so kindly puts it, “There is no such thing as one ‘Native American’ anything. Even in a fictional wizarding world, Native spirituality and religions are not fantasy on the same level as wizards. These beliefs are alive, practiced, and protected … we fight so hard every single day as Native peoples to be seen as contemporary, real, full, and complete human beings and to push away from the stereotypes that restrict us in stock categories of mystical-connected-to-nature-shamans or violent-savage-warriors”
