Council on Anthroplogy and Education Community event is on! We are so excited about this fantastic place! And all the good food! #AAA2022 #CouncilonAnthroandEd Trail of Tears Memorial at the Chattahoochee Indian Heritage Center. A sobering reminder of so many historical wrongs. The site includes the names of Native Americans who were living around Fort Mitchell during 1932 census. They were given land allotments, then swindled or forcefully removed from them. Then gathered here for violent removal from their ancestral lands. So much to take in, such unfathomable grief to reckon with. #indigenousrights #reckoning #remembering What a great gathering. What an incredible group of scholars. Wonderful to engage on such powerful conversations. Grateful to the organizers. Incredible experience. #nepc #boulder Nice view for catching up on a bit of work. #bouldercolorado Preparing for a flight in #2022. Pandemic might be over but COVID is still a problem 🙂 If you know me and see me on the airplane, you are welcome to pretend you don't know me 😀 Blue morpho butterflies at Callaway Gardens. Such a wonderful experience. Grateful this one decided to pose for me 😉 #BigWater #Sunsets never get old. Thankful for the beauty. Finally... #bigwaterbliss My companion of 16 years, my sweet soul mate, and faithful friend went to kitty heaven today. He was such a gentle and wonderful cat. From China to the US, from South Carolina, to Michigan, to Arizona, to Alabama, we covered a lot of miles together. Teeshka was my home. I always looked forward to returning from my travels to his kitty love. He helped me write and he taught me a lot about life. We braved through sickness together. He never gave up on finding joy and play in life. And always worked his magic to get everyone to like him. I already miss him terribly.
