Learning Tools

World Cat is fantastic resource to look for materials anywhere in the world. You can search local libraries, college libraries, and more. It is a great tool for anyone looking to dig deep and get you fingers dusty. You should be reading books. There are many areas of study that require you to get up in the stacks and sit with a text until you find what you need. All of our new media is great, but it is not a complete picture. Find what you need.

Word To The Wise…

As we move into the end of tax season, let me share a lesson. Pay your fare. In the last few months my family has experienced a series of small bumps in the road. Car damage, home repair, health and fitness matters. All small things that would be much worse if we did not have our affairs in order. It is not that we are perfect or in the optimal position I want to be. We were prepared. We did things the way that makes sense and have not heaped risk on risk for the sake of temporary gain. My advice to you is to pay your fare. Pay for insurance on your car, your home, your apartment, and your life. Get appropriate coverage and support services. Ask questions about your tools, how they work, what are the limits, and how to you access it. Get it right and pay your fare.

Many folk have heard that the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. made the comment that the U.S. government [was/is] "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today". This was in context to a speech delivered on April 4, 1967 at Riverside Church in New York City - exactly one year before his untimely death.

Why Does Representation Matter? Recently I have seen a lot of discussion around representation and people struggling to understand or articulate why it's important. Why does it matter how people and ideas are shown in film, photography, and the news? Aren't there more pressing on the ground needs that we should focus on instead? Since this account is about changing representations of land, I wanted to address it here. Representation matters because it creates the ideological conditions necessary for realizing on the ground change. Basically, the more we talk about something in a certain way, the more we hear it and see it represented in a certain way, the more likely we are to accept it as true, as natural, or as "common sense" regardless of it's actual basis in truth. This is what psychologists call the Illusory Truth Effect - the tendency to believe information to be correct because of exposure rather than reason or evidence. This kind of ingrained belief especially across whole groups of people and cultures leads to what is called reification - or making REAL something that previously had only been imagined or talked about. In other words, we try to shape physical reality to fit our believes rather than allowing our beliefs to be shaped by truth. (Example of this is comments. My original post was too long.) - Once established, these realities are easy to perpetuate and incredibly difficult to destabilize. (Especially when, like wilderness, they intersect with entrenched power structures like colonialism and capitalism). But the whole idea behind Indigenous Geotags is that this process can go the other way, that representing these lands as deeply cultural and historical, as belonging to indigenous people, is the first step toward creating a more just reality.
