At the end of the day...

"'What really upsets me about people's thinking here in this country is that nobody questions the fact that Indigenous people in Chiapas had to take up arms to protect themselves, yet, on the other hand, they question what happened in Mohawk territory and the need to take up arms there in 1990.'" - Joan Philip [Taiaiake Alfred and Lana Lowe Warrior Societies. Contemporary Indigenous Communities: A Background Paper for the Ipperwash Inquiry. May 2005, p. 45]


"Progressive activists and scholars, while prepared to make critiques of the US and Canadian governments are often not prepared to question their legitimacy." - Andrea Smith [Indigenous feminism without apology].

Blogging and school don't mix. Get back to work. Don't make me blog about the sodium/potassium pump or DNA Helicase

Dear Toby:

Feel free THEN to pass this memo on to Marin.

I am now actually going back to reading (you will ultimately regret telling me to get back to work - your last name is just begging for me to use against you in a rant).
