Native Americans in these exchanges were in the midst of genocide - the systematic, violent and organised destruction of their society and culture by settler colonial governments. No trade, particularly of ceremonial objects, under these circumstances could be ethical /3

[Jack Davy @jackyd1001]

Some of this material was “stolen”, but the vast majority taken by methods lawful at the time and likely to be strictly lawful today. This does not however mean that their removal was ethical. They were mostly traded for by settlers from Native peoples under colonial rule /2

Taking our learning outside has taught ME so much...

-Ss’ want to learn outside.
-It’s ~30 mins of prep a day.
-My happiness level is increased.
-Ss’ and parents COVID stress levels are reduced.
