Lovely talk

“I appreciate the talk about cancel culture and cultural appropriation. I am an archaeologist and have worked throughout the western US and Canada (including AK!). I work with Native American and First Nation members and elders, many of whom are social activists. The causes they are passionate about include protecting their lands and fisheries, and rights to access their traditional hunting and gathering grounds. Many work tirelessly to bring home the thousands Native American women that have disappeared without a trace, and to raise awareness to the issue. Covid-19 is also a huge problem on reservations.
I, personally, have yet to meet an aboriginal activist that makes it their mission to go after white people with tipis in their back yards. One Native American woman, when I asked her about the cultural appropriation issue, responded: I don’t care. The white people I have met that have done sweat lodges and such do it because they are interested in my traditions and are allies.
I was invited to a pipe ceremony many years ago to bless a newly constructed pithouse. I was adopted into the band by a shaman, and given the authority to communicate with the ancestors, in the event they reached out while we were excavating at one of their ancient sites. It was such a beautiful and humbling experience.
All of this is to say, there is much more nuance to the cultural appropriation issue than social media would have us believe. Surely, there are tribal folks that are outraged by it, but many aren’t because there’s more important things on which to focus. It is not a black and white, full stop issue.
My advice. Ignore the woke people on social media. If you are non-Native, know you are living on stolen land. Do your research to learn about the land and it’s original occupants. Their decedents are still here. So find out about what the actual issues are and get involved in any way possible, beyond being a keyboard warrior.
Signing off from traditional interior Salish territory.”

“I don't believe in God or positive vibes or past lives... in fact, I invest very little in many of the ideas that Julie holds to be true (I'm not saying I'm right and she's wrong- there are multiple truths). It makes for an interesting tension as I have the greatest respect for...”Read full review »
