Among the productive things to come out of these conversations for me—I promise, really, I hadn& #39;t meant this to be so provocative!—was looking at the program of the upcoming @WhaHistory conference. Now I know why all the cool people go. There are so many Indigenous scholars! https://twitter.com/Molina_EnvHist/status/1300155598072410113">https://twitter.com/Molina_En...

It& #39;s not that I was ever actively avoiding the conference or the organization, I just don& #39;t really work on the U.S. West (though I realize what the "West" even means is part of the conversation; I do work on western Massachusetts, including when some saw it as "the West").

But especially now that things are online this year, I& #39;m really looking forward to engaging more. There& #39;s so much good stuff!
