Needless to say, Lucas's claim, in "Look Christians, Demon Sun", that Native Americans used to refer to a red sun from wildfires as a "demon sun" is entirely false, and honestly childish. This claim plays into stereotypes of Native Americans as ignorant "savages", and rather bafflingly insinuates that they didn't understand the natural world they inhabited for millennia.
A search of Google reveals no mentions of the term "demon sun" being used in any communities, be they indigenous or white, and I've certainly never heard the term used in Spokane to describe our periodic red suns resulting from wildfires. Therefore, Lucas made up a racist claim on the spot that paints the Spokane Tribe as childish and foolish, despite the fact that this pig lives, eats, and shits on their ancestral soil.
Lucas's claim is especially hurtful to the Spokane People, because their unique pre-Christian religion worshipped the sun as an emanation from the creator of the world, Amotkan, and couldn't have imagined it having demonic aspects, or being an evil thing in any way. In fact, the word "Spokane" literally translates to "Children of the Sun" in their language, and the Spokane Valley was a major hub for indigenous solar worship. Not that Fatty would know any of this!
For supporting evidence that the Spokane were not only aware of wildfires, but actually started them regularly to keep the local ecosystem healthy and open, please see the article below.
