Busy catching up these days but adding to my list of ideas is a paper tentatively titled "sovereignty in a glottal" because #orthography matters and maintaining control over our orthography is directly tied to #sovereignty in digital spaces. Also large glottal stops are ugly.

Heading home from #SAA2025Denver full of new ideas, new connections, and fun memories. Also met another #Haudenosaunee archaeologist! Not bad for my first experience with the SAAs.
After a difficult couple of weeks, I'm trying to get back to academic things. Heading to #SAA2025 in Denver today. Hoping to meet other #Indigenous archaeologists!
Are you a microbiologist looking to move to Alaska? There is an opening for a microbiologist in a clinical lab in Bethel. Only requires a BS. Please share with your networks, they really need to hire someone ASAP.

Two long beaded earrings with purple and white beads with metal sunflowers on the ends.
Was gifted some Two Row sunflower earrings from an elder I've been crossing paths with for the past year. She's the only other Haudenosaunee woman involved in archaeology I know! Now I'm crying π
I highly doubt this plant was just "discovered," like no human's ever interacted with it before. kriruΜΒ·reΜ¨' probably just seen it for the first time. Also naming it wooly devil. Really?? #botany #ethnobotany
Three decades after legislation pushed for the return of Native American remains to Indigenous communities, many of the nationβs top museums and universities still have thousands of human remains in their collections.

The Society for American Archaeology wants to benchmark losses in the federal archaeological workforce and invites members and other archaeologists to please take this anonymous survey: www.surveymonkey.com/r/HPDWBBK.
Appreciate Dartmouth for highlighting our recent work!
Recognizing Indigenous rights in our environmental data is not only good for the communities whom the data pertains to, but also produces better science that is grounded in the expertise of the communities that steward these data relations.
A clam with a spring attached to the shell. The spring has a magnet placed above a sensor.
Hardly new info, but BSky should know:
Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply.
Thank you, little guardian molluscs.
