    Wow. Thanks so much for mentioning Air Mail. And I will be looking out for Liberties. I am interested in ideas, as well, and have been very concerned about the weird binary dynamic that seems to be deepening in human society. We truly need something on this level of discussion among Indigenous intellectuals as well. And now that Vine Deloria, Jr. is gone we have fewer writers doing this type of work. And of course, much of the public and most Indigenous writers know what happened to Sherman Alexie, who had become the
    Amerindian doyenne of the American publishing industry. I have found, in Indigenous writer circles, that there is often an expectation of a kind of blind loyalty to certain perspectives, and a commitment to a particular role in American society that is both sheltering and constricting for a writer. It is a dynamic of “you are for us or against us.”
    This dynamic no longer serves indigenous nations, and I would guess it is partly an outgrowth and mutation springing from colonization. I just found something I am truly excited to read, and considering the times we are in, that says alot. Kci Woliwon.
