Right well three and a half hours later and I now have a one page tentative outline. Go me. Which I am going to type here for future refernce and also neatness.

Giiwedahn Coming Home, Winona LaDuke

Thesis(?): Despite significant alterations in Western thinking, mainstream America remains firmly, if not willingly, ignorant of the Ojibwe's connection to their ancestors.

Paragraph One: Blatant Disregard
  • "Scholarly" forays 1910s
  • Colonial/military expansion
  • Grave diggings
  • People and belongings
  • Respect
Paragraph Two: Academic Objectivity
  • Museums - labeled boxes
  • New laws - some remains to be returned
  • Remains vs. ancestors/old people
  • Ancestors not "objects"/"things"
  • Objibwe museums - fur press, sticks, shoes
Paragraph Three: Patronizing Overcompensation
  • "Repatritation"
  • Help - speaker wire, tools, lunch
  • "An important load"
  • Voices/music
  • Marginalized

    Also, the project for Women Studies I thought was due next Friday? Due Monday. Fuck my life.
