BTW, I finally split up the blogroll into rough categories (with all the limitations of doing that!). If you think yours would fit better somewhere else, please let me know.
* Science Says ‘Go Outside and You’ll Feel Better!’ — This has been an access problem for me lately.
And, from elenbarathi, a bit of information on cane self-defense. Did not notice the post was f-locked!
The commenter also suggests a Google search to find further sites and videos. Yes, I looked into this kind of thing just about as soon as I started using a cane. While I may not like the idea of needing to whack people with it, neither do I like the idea of being viewed as more prey-like because I need a mobility aid.
* I’m still not White, but am I American Indian?
* Discussion: Invisible Minority by Guest Contributor Anishinaabekwe — Excellent (and much-needed) discussion!
* “Respecting Your History:” Jessica Yee on being Asian, Aboriginal, and Canadian — Another great (older) post by Jessica Yee.
‘At the act’s core was a policy that deprived women, who married non-Native men, and their children of Indian status. A Native man who married a non-Native woman could keep his status, and his wife and children would gain status. But if a child’s mother and paternal grandmother did not have a right to Indian status other than by virtue of having married Indian men, the child had status only up to the age of 21.
‘This month 10 members of the Cherokee Nation will retrace their ancestors’ journey on the Trail of Tears, not by foot, but on bicycles.
* Dear White Feminists Stop Erasing my Womanism — I keep identifying with what Renee is saying, different as our backgrounds are.
The “Fear, flinch and social justice” post is friends-locked. A shame, because I wanted to read it.
Sorry, I didn’t notice that when I included it, even knowing that she f-locks a lot of posts! I am tempted to ask the author (a friend) if it’s OK to make a version available on screened request. If that’s OK, I’ll post an update here and let you know through e-mail.
