Reposting in solidarity and support. So grateful for sabbatical this semester.

Currently reading the novel “Where They Last Saw Her” by Marcie R. Rendon (White Earth Nation). #MMIP

Thank you for listening to us and responding! Many of us have been working to shed light on the pseudoscience of cosmic catastrophism.

Sickening. The government must legislate to tackle the ongoing holding, display and collection of human remains acquired through enslavement and colonisation.

OK, Gail, gonna need some therapy after tonight’s Last of Us episode.

Happier times of the Last of Us. I need Catherine O’Hara and I need her now, with whiskey. Gail, help!

Oh good god no.

In 'Who Owns Museum Collections?' our speakers will discuss what museums can offer today & in the future, how they are developing new leadership practices & how different institutions are approaching essential work in repatriation & cultural redress. Sat 29 March, 10.00 - 16.00. bit.ly/3QfisUJ

Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh… Part of my journey to the Murphy side of the family tree in County Kilkenny just outside of Waterford. My 4th great-grand-father Patrick Murphy married Catherine Ivery in 1791, and they would go on to have 4 children baptized in the same parish in Slieverue. 🇮🇪☘️

My latest Substack chronicling my sabbatical journey and Ohio Hopewell research. open.substack.com/pub/rockdocg...

“Fhalla na cathrach mean aoisigh”- the Irish for medieval city wall. And the walls do talk if you are an archaeologist. Waterford, also the “birthplace”of the Irish flag?? Or is this mythology? 🤔 🇮🇪

Continuing exploring Ireland this week… It’s no @ravenbooks.bsky.social of Blackrock 😉, but when in Midleton, check out the local book shop! 🇮🇪

Dia duit ó Éirinn! @sorryforlaughing.bsky.social & @archhelmer.bsky.social as promised - “Kindred Spirits” sculpture visit in Midleton, Ireland. Go raibh maith agat, Choctaw Nation, for caring for my ancestors.

As an archaeologist and soil scientist myself in Kansas, who relies on the work of NRCS folks, this is a well-written piece! Thank you. kansasreflector.com/2025/03/04/h...

A goal of mine for years, I will make the journey to see the Kindred Spirits sculpture near Cork next week! Id like to think the Choctaw money dirtely helped my ancestors who werent far from the area www.atlasobscura.com/places/kindr...

BREAKING: Valentine’s Day massacre: Uncounted throng of Wyomingites fired by Trump administration - @WyoFile wyofile.com/valentines-d...

Today - the news that Haskell Indian Nations University here in Kansas has been impacted by Trump’s cuts. Isn’t this a treaty violation? Tonight - I am struck by Joy Harjo’s poem in a new way … “by the authority of a piece of paper” theindianleader.com/2025/02/14/h...

Thank you @phillevin.bsky.social & the authors of this important resource to understand & support nature & people.

The Kansas legislature will try anything to harm higher education: URGENT- Kansas HB 2348 would eliminate tenure at Kansas public universities. The hearing is Tuesday. Testimony must be submitted by Monday the 10th at 3PM. www.kslegislature.gov/li/b2025_26/...

Always great content from the All My Relations podcast. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

“Why do I need NOAA? I’ve got a weather app.” Is equivalent to asking “Why do I need farms? I can go to the supermarket.” www.noaa.gov/about-our-ag...

It’s that time of year again, where normalized synchronized racism on our Sunday’s takes to the global stage for another Super Bowl. I encourage you to read this statement and reflect: notinourhonor.com/2025/02/08/s... #StopTheChop

Never settlersplain to me about #stopthechop when every settler can afford to pay $13,000 a seat to attend the superbowl. When that 13k could be going to landback, reparations, mutual aid.

Every sports game with Native names/mascots is a genocide reenactment, because no matter who wins or loses you are wearing our identity and cultures for entertainment on stolen land. #SuperBowl  #SuperBowl2024 #Chiefs #StopTheChop #ChangeTheName

As #TheChiefs play this weekend, let me remind you that we are #NotYourMascot. The Chiefs team & fans perpetuate harmful stereotypes of Indigenous people. We are #NotHonored by white people wearing headdresses & red face. #StopTheChop. #NativeSky #SuperBowl

Zoom’d with 75 4th graders with Olmstead Falls City Schools about archaeology & the Hopewell Culture! Students were attentive and asked really great insightful questions. It's opportunities like this during my sabbatical that I'm so very much enjoying!

Archaeology fam! We are SO CLOSE to raising 3k for my dept scholarships that go directly to our students! With all that’s going on in the country, it's hard to have hope for the future. YOUR donation WILL make a difference for archaeological field school this summer. washburngivingday.org/soan

Check out the press from the “Prairie Palettes” Kansas Day event I organized with the talented @schleppingart.bsky.social!!! These works that show diverse interpretations of Kansas as home will be on display at the NOTO Art Center through February: www.wibw.com/2025/01/30/w...

Lá Fhéile Bríde - or - Imbolc, Irish word perhaps related to ewe pregnancy?(@theirishfor.bsky.social) Celebrated on Feb 1 - a time in Ireland to begin preparations for Spring, rooted in traditions long before being Christianized.

Birthday book haul. Indigenous and Irish. People know me! #booksky

Today is the day! Kansas Day & a high of 52 degrees. No excuse but to fill your day with amazing art. Before our evening event, a new women’s suffragist mural will be unveiled in the state Capitol building, joining the famous John Brown mural. 🌻🦬

Who has good examples of their university leaders providing strong messaging and support for students, staff, and faculty at this time? I'd love this thread to become a space where we can provide models of how to not be a coward.

I started a Substack today for #Hopewell #Archaeology. Join me these next 16 weeks! rockdocgeoarch.substack.com/p/join-me-on...

Check it out! New volume alert! 🚨📖 “Mothering and Archaeology: Past and Present Perspectives” brings together research on #motherhood and mothering in the past with women’s contemporary experiences of the relationships of mothering to #archaeology… www.routledge.com/Mothering-an...

We have a special collection of art curated for the 164th Kansas Day of Statehood on Wednesday January 29, 2025. The Washburn Center for Kansas Studies is hosting a reception with the art of: Barbara Waterman Peters Lois Van Liew Mark Hahn Laura Mead Diane Lawrence Staci Ogle Lisa LaRue-Baker

Next Week!! Jan 29 is “Kansas Day” marking statehood in 1861. Thus, it’s a good day to spend in education with Native scholars. This is a statewide effort to learn how to improve teaching and learning about, for, and with Native Nations. Check out the program! #indigenouseducation #kansasday

What were your 1st climate anxieties? For us xennials, Lisa Ling on Channel 1 News reported global warming; we watched the Exxon-Valdez oil spill unfold in ‘89. We cut our plastic pop holders for turtles. We thought we had power when we watched “Captain Planet”. Now what @katharinehayhoe.com?
