Out in @highcountrynews this week: The Second Railroads in Native America Gathering serves as the catalyst for @MiacelSelk's thoughtful, probing piece on the complexities, potential, pitfalls, and opportunities bound up in teaching and reflecting on Indigenous histories.
Hi, folks! Jumping on here to tap the historian hive. I am teaching an independent study on U.S. Imperialism/Colonialism/Neocolonialism from 1890-present. Could you share your favorite reads on the subject, ideally ones that a precocious high school senior can digest? Thanks!
We read Invisible Man this semester, and a student gifted me this first edition for the holidays. The kids are alright. ❤️
Feast your eyes on this beauty! (Adds to purchase list.) Congrats, @lizingleson!

Daniel was experimenting with ChatGPT by asking it questions about Mexico's Independence War. He asked whether Miguel Hidalgo is considered an Enlightenment figure. ChatGPT answered, and then Daniel asked for citations.
Here virtually to chat about teaching at independent schools as well. Glad there's dedicated space for this at the #AHA.

Native leaders, advocates and citizens traveled from across the US to attend oral arguments in Brackeen. Samantha Maltais (Aquinnah Wampanoag) is a law student at Harvard who wanted to attend bc tribal sovereignty is one the line.

I attended this Native-led symposium on railroads earlier this year and wrote about it
"‘Why are things set up this way? Why is this part considered Indian land and this part is not Indian land?”

"What mattered, ultimately, was that we spent our time collectively trying to understand the many ways that America’s past informs Indian Country’s present — including how we teach and digest that relationship."
