One of the things that Chairman Tahdooahnippah and I both wanted to talk about was how to do ethical scholarship with Tribes. So if you’re interested in those thoughts or feel that your students could hear them, check out the current episode of Reckoning with Jason Herbert below.

My father was a factory worker and commercial fisherman. Beat a man so bad that lost use of two fingers. He was HARD. But when his little brother came out of the closet just before he died of AIDS, my dad stood by my uncle when their family rejected him.

No, I don’t want to check my fucking carry-on. No, I don’t want to reserve a spot at security. That’s why I have TSA pre-check. Goddammit why does this have to be so fucking hard?

Big news, friends: on December 3rd, I'll be launching a brand-new history show, "Past Lives." Every episode focuses on the life of a real person from history and tries to make sense of their experiences and their world. There will be weekly scripted episodes and tons of bonus content on Patreon.
