Author-ized L.J.Christopher Cox's article What if Everything We Know About Sacagawea Is Wrong? https://archive.is/Cxmw4 discusses the background of and responses to book Our Story of Eagle Woman by scholars David and Sandra Fox (Hidatsa). The Foxes' work compiles #Hidatsa oral tradition, supported by documentation and DNA testing, to upend the conventional settler history of #Sacagawea, the celebrated Native woman in the Louis and Clark expedition. According to settlers' records she was a #Shoshone woman kidnapped by Hidatsa who died in her 20s of fever, while in Hidatsa oral tradition she was Hidatsa born, had three more children after the expedition, and lived into her 80s until she was killed in a Sioux raid. The whole article is a thoughtful exploration of why the Hidatsa accounts never gained widespread traction in settler academia and whose voices and records are uplifted in understandings of history.

DoomsdaysCW2025 #UraniumFilmFestival - To Use a Mountain
USA, 2025, Director Casey Carter, Producers: Colleen Cassingham, Jonna McKone, Documentary, 99 min.
"In 1982, the United States began their search for a landfill site for their most dangerous #NuclearWaste. The Department for Energy at the time preselected six sites across the country. Each of these areas were studied and documented in detail, and their residents consulted. The film, which adopts an observational yet sensitive tone, offers us a topography of these sites and their residents. In #Texas, #Utah, #Mississippi, #Nevada, the communities excavate memories of their confrontations with the administration, as well as the distress and outcry that these caused. The film travels across America goes back in time, reminding us that these lands were originally stolen from their first occupants, as we rediscover the intimate links between nuclear, civil and military powers."

Just saw a post referencing Utah as “the ancestral homeland of the Mormons” It had hundreds of likes. The original Mormon was from Vermont then moved to New York. Utah is the ancestral homeland of the Ute, Paiute, Shoshone, Goshute and Diné people. This historical revisionism must be corrected whenever we see it.

NormIs there an #OpenStreetMap version of the #Firewatch game map? As I explore the locations, routes and #map in Firewatch, I find myself wishing I could update the in-game map with things I come across...
That'd be a cool concept for a #game - an open-world where you explore and update a map as you go.
