#37 - Reconciling Past and Present Realities: Issues with written text about “Indian Things”

Send us a textIn this episode  we revisit some unfinished business from a previous discussion. Specifically, We dive deeper in the complications found when Native thoughts and philosophies are committed to written text, especially in legal and academic scholarship. Some primary issues are knowing that we may not fully understand the construct that are being writing about. Additionally, some traditions and customs are better left out of written form in order to preserve their evolutionary nature. The cautionary tale here is that some written forms of Tribal thoughts and traditions can become interpreted as static and settle business. Yet, many tradition and customs have evolved with the changing world. This can cause much confusion and perpetuation of romantic stereotypes.
