Why did Michigan shelve a report on the state’s history of Indigenous boarding schools after paying more than a million dollars to have the report completed?
I don’t know, but I read the report and have some thoughts.
The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribe’s approach to water management is helping to integrate sovereignty and conservation into water policy in Montana.
On the disappointment that comes from reading a retired Commissioner of Indian Affairs’ memoir.

Instead of banning plagiarism, schools should teach students to plagiarize in ways that are more difficult to detect, that degrade the value of labor, and destroy the environment.
These are not serious people. They are the useful idiots for truly evil people like the child killer Russell Vought.
Photos of all the school children killed by a US strike in Minab, Ireland
The United States killed all these children last Saturday.
170 of them.
Every. Single. One.
Stories like this show the emptiness of Democrats’ “they should remove their masks” rhetoric. It’s a cancerous organization that they are afraid to cut out.
Democrats are to brave politics what a carrot juice enema is to cancer treatment.
I’ve never taught a course on Pirates.
I’m calling on Voldemort to investigate Voldemort’s treatment of Harry Potter.
Come on, my Democrats. You may as well say that you’re gonna tell the teacher. Or call your mom.
Grow a goddamn pair, please. Stand for something, please. You can’t get the easy stuff right.
Just abolish ICE.
I want students to learn content, but also wisdom, empathy, &humility, to write from the heart, mind and soul. I want them to learn to move people, and to matter.
That’s why.
I would urge my school to promote itself as the alternative to what’s offered by our soulless corporate AI overlords.
Don’t get too excited about Trump shitcanning Noem. She’s a pawn. The same SOBs are in charge.

Since the pandemic, we’ve been able to bring in over a million dollars to fund fellowships for undergraduate students to work in historians’ offices across NYS. It’s a labor of love. I wish I could do this work full time.
Everything just became more stupid. And yet nothing has changed at the top. Nothing is better. One idiot replaced by another.
Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.
I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.
Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.
I could write “Fuck Grammarly” in the margins of every paper I mark, but as my friends and former students would point out, nobody can read my handwriting anyways.

Your quarterly bibliography of new and interesting scholarship in Native American History and Indigenous studies.

I’ve heard more than once that business professors are using AI to write assignments, which students use AI to answer, submitting “work” that the professor grades using…AI.
Hats off to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. I hope they are able to take this project into the soldiers’ communities to listen, learn and share.
This is good work for an under-studied period in Native American History. Congratulations.

I wouldn’t want to watch an AI video of my mom, who died back in September.
I did read through letters she wrote and scrapbooks she kept and genealogy she compiled and some of the books she kept
On the shelves in her office and found great comfort.
I wish you peace in your mourning.
Their leaders rape teens and blast the shit out of elementary schools in Iran and do nothing when sociopaths shoot up schools at home. Your Republican Party.
And Democrats, meanwhile, consistently fold before the cards are dealt.
Thanks for the shout-out
Iran started this war in the same way that Mexico began the Mexican War.
The last time I had former military people in my classes we read Thucydides, Sophocles, Plato, Cicero, More, Dante, Augustine and…the Bible.
Don’t expect validation from colleagues and administrators. Or support or encouragement. Build a network of friends and colleagues who share your interests—I know, that’s hard with a big teaching load—but you deserve respect and you may need to look beyond your campus for that.
I am so angry at Hegseth right now.
I keep in my files the searing essay one quiet Iraq war veteran wrote in his final essay, a reflection on the readings in our “great books” class, that taught me so much about how to read Thucydides, the Gospels, and Augustine’s I have learned so much from my veteran students.
I’ve been teaching for over 30 years. Never at a school with grad programs, but I’ve had many former military in my courses. EVERY FACULTY MEMBER I’ve ever met has done nothing but express the greatest respect for the work ethic and hard-won wisdom of soldiers.
So, yeah, fuck Hegseth. Fuck ‘em all
