Oh.. ? "Much to my surprise, we found that, even though we know that Native Americans were in New England for at least 14,000 years with, at certain times in history, fairly large population densities, the ecological signal was essentially invisible," said Chilton. "If one did not know there had been humans on the landscape, it would be almost impossible to detect them on a regional scale."

I literally had eco-fascists screaming the opposite at me just a week ago.

It's always amazing to see mainstream science finally begin to catch up with what indigenous peoples have been saying for hundreds of years.

I want to add that mestizas & white passing folk do this bc they position themselves within Latinidad solely through a US context, that way there’s a whiteness they’re not culturally a part of (USA) & yet they can ignore the whiteness they are a part of (LaAm)

3)This is all too like Latina philosophy:where fairer skin & lil connection to Indigenous background means a displacement within ‘the movement’ & therefore they’re white to strangers, but a WOC to those that know them. To be a WOC is not a political choice, its a racial reality

Congratulate yourself for doing difficult things, even if they might not seem difficult to others.

pretty happy with this one!
