He said 16 generations. voice-verified

And so I've kind of felt like, okay, I mean, 16 generations, that might, you know, and so certainly for the Pueblo people who are still there, still in their Pueblos that they've been in for a thousand years. voice-verified

I mean, absolutely. voice-verified

I think you get to, you know, put native on your bumper sticker. voice-verified

Montana is a little bit different to me because, I mean, this place has barely been a state more than a century. voice-verified

And so, you know, and people didn't really start getting out here until the mining strikes in the 1860s. voice-verified

At least the, you know, the people who tend to put those bumper stickers on their voice-verified

on their Ram pickups and their Ford F-150s. voice-verified

So at most, I mean, it's maybe, you know, four generations or something. voice-verified

And then you've got native people around who have been in America for 23,000 years. voice-verified

So it's an interesting phenomenon. voice-verified

But as I say in that script, this particular script, it's, you know, it's one way of doing it. voice-verified

You know, it's just another way of assuming that you are a resident, an inhabitant, and that you have roots in a particular place. voice-verified

And so I'm not going to, you know, throw a beer can out the window at some truck that has native on the bumper sticker. voice-verified

I mean, for one thing, you'd probably get run over. voice-verified

Right. voice-verified

For another thing, that's fine with me, but there are different ways of doing it, and that's kind of what I was wanting to write about in this particular episode. voice-verified

Yeah, I think what killed it was inertia and momentum of the grid system we had been using for surveys since the 1780s, just imposing from, like, space. voice-verified

grid of townships and sections and so forth on the landscape, no matter what the landscape beneath the grid looked like. voice-verified

I mean, it could be the tops of the Tetons. voice-verified
