As a follow-up to yesterday’s celebration of Indigenous People’s Day, a carry-on into the upcoming Thanksgiving season, and a general thought about the current state of American education, here is an article from the High Country News on the country’s land-grant universities, how they came to exist from a war-torn America, and what they’re doing with some of that land now.

“Yes, all of these universities need to provide tuition/books/room and board/stipends for anyone with a drop of Native American blood. Whether or not they still ‘own’ any of the stolen land. I’d say at least 50% of every dime they ever made.” Brenda Allen, Texas, October 13, 2020
