15 things I learned/thought about while listening to the SwatTalk "Killers of the Flower Moon and the Importance of Strong Native Nation Governments" with Miriam Jorgensen '87
Having read the book, I was excited to hear this talk.
- While the US Government may have helped stop one particular set of abuses against the Osage, they were standing in a position to keep enacting abuses
- The Ingalls settled on Osage land
- Voting rights were initially inherited and could be inherited by non-Osage
- The Reign of Terror that the Osage faced is more recent than you want it to be (1918-1931)
- Restorative justice is used in a lot of indigenous thought
- Casinos are ways of replacing lost tax income
- Harvard Kennedy School Project on Indigenous Governance and Development is a thing
- Blood quantum is still affecting indigenous citizenship
- I should learn the land story of Chicago
- native-land.ca is a thing
- I want to figure out how to support indigenous nations
- I should read more books on indigenous nations
- I should reread this book
- I should see the movie
- I want to attend more SwatTalks
