By all human logic it is not. Mills said he was running with the spirits of his ancestors. I believe him.
It’s about to get worse; you’re going to see Indigenous peoples’ water rights bulldozed before everyone else’s in the next few decades.
Because what else would Peter Murphy, Siouxsie Sioux, and Robert Smith do when touring in Italy?
Nope. The Standing Rock Sioux have been protesting the pipeline for a while now, and have been joined by hundreds of other tribes in what is the largest protest gathering by Native American/First Nation peoples in over a century. This was a deliberate “fuck you” to all of them.
Fellow history PhD, and I applaud taking history to the masses. Although I studied modern Germany, Roman history was one of my many side interests. In fact, my tendency to get derailed by my side interests is a big reason why I am not academia anymore.
A friend of mine was out west already when the protests started. She joined them about two weeks ago.
It isn't about how hard it would be to go around it. It is about power, status and deliberately showing disrespect for these people and their heritage.
The tribe wasn’t even asking for they to do that, just yet. They were asking for a chance to conduct in-depth studies to determine what exactly is at the site (how many remains, artifacts, etc.) - THEN come up with options. And yes, there are options - preserving the site, re-interment elsewhere, etc. People believe…
So, in a lot of ways, these people are no better than ISIS. Destroying cultural heritage sites is despicable and unforgivable.
They did this on a reservation legally owned and governed by the Sioux? Not that I’d expect the Federal Government to break their streak of failing to honor a single treaty with various Native American tribes, but I thought reservations were at least some space of dignity and autonomy for Native Americans. Just…
This is disgusting, and the use of dogs to attack protesters is particularly vile. There was an account of a child being bitten by one of the dogs brought in, not to mention several adults.
I teach university courses and have a no electronics policy in class. No phones, tablets, phablets, laptops allowed. I’ve had this policy for over 5 years and students’ scores and my teaching evals have gone up. I’ve done the research to back up my decision, and still use a lot of tech in other ways (and students use…
America: treating ethnic minorities like crap since 1776....
People who don’t leash their dogs are a major pet peeve of mine.
By varying accounts, she took sleeping pills, became woozy, hit her head on the way to falling into the bed, and the Lab tried to wake her. As the dog became increasingly frantic, she pawed at her owner’s face and her claws ripped the flesh. If you’ve ever seen a dog go apeshit neurotic, it’s not from a mindset of…
My kids don’t actually need school supplies, as the school provides them. I was devastated to learn this fact when my oldest entered Kindergarten. I still buy them new colored pencils and crayons and scissors anyway because GOD DAMMIT I WANT TO.
I’ll go next week, when Target puts notebooks in sale for 50¢ a piece. They have expiration dates, don’t you know.
A pure blooded lab attacked my husky puppy at the park a few years ago, causing permanent blindness and brain damage (and eventually death from complications). They can be sweet, but aggressive dogs exist in every breed, and they’re pretty large and strong.
