  • Reading - Iroquoia: The Development of a Native World by William Engelbrecht

    Where to start? How about with the Haudenosaunee.


    Without much direction as to where I can find a clear historical path, I take from my library Iroquoia: The Development of a Native World by William Engelbrecht (an archaeology and anthropology book). From here, I get the basics of the past down in order to understand the present nations that fall under the haudenosaunee umbrella; some of which are amazing things, good and bad.

  • Making the Case for Monuments of Confrontation

    Where I argue that the great amount of rumination towards controversial statues needs to actually result in more than the willingness to let the statues be removed.

  • I don't know enough about Indigenous History

    Having grown up in a racist town where I was left in the dark over the history of indigenous people, I relied on the clues people gave me to guide my way out of the hatred; however, I am not out of the woods when it comes to fully understanding a perspective that I've been purposely kept in the dark about.

  • I have an idea: The idiot's path towards hope

    This is the mission statement that opens my website journal. I am clearly fed up with the fight I have over my own stupidity and throw caution to the wind over where such a shameful title will lead me.

About Reading My Journal Entries

From the publisher's feed

Out of a desperate need for change I have begun to reveal to the world the writing that I used to keep to myself. These are my readings of my journal entries, made easier for every curious character who decides to have a peek into what used to be private. The contents therein you will find the spark of an idiot that can't stand the fight for self-preservation anymore, and is willing to have all of her opinions challenged simply for a chance to know something different.
