This kind of post/interview is so important. Thank you.
From Professor Michael John Witgen, one quote: "For American politicians, it was unthinkable to imagine this land as an Indian nation, polity, or homeland equivalent to the United States, France, Canada, etc. If they thought of it that way, they'd realize they were invading another country and that in pushing out its inhabitants, they were committing at best ethnic cleansing, at worst genocide."
Learning from history, what a concept. But when it is skipped because we're distracted or it is kept for us in an unopened box not to tamper with so we can idealize our country and ourselves, well not so good. I felt my mind being stretched. With some discomfort. But I want to learn more. Thank you both.
