Milestone Monday

Sacred Lands, Broken Promises

On this day, January 27, 1825, the U.S. Congress sanctioned Indian Territory, which is located in what is now Oklahoma. This decision was part of the United States’ broader policy of westward expansion, driven by the belief in Manifest Destiny—the idea that the U.S. was destined to expand across the North American continent. It laid the groundwork for the Indian Removal Act, which President Andrew Jackson signed into law in 1830. 

One of the most infamous outcomes of this policy was the Trail of Tears. This tragic event involved the forced relocation of Native Americans from their lands during the 1830s. The term particularly refers to the Cherokee Nation's tragic journey in 1838-1839, where thousands of Cherokee people were marched westward under harsh conditions. The journey was marked by immense suffering, including exposure to harsh weather, disease, and inadequate supplies. Estimates conclude that thousands of Native Americans died as they were uprooted from their ancestral lands to this designated territory.

The relocation and its consequences had lasting impacts on Native American communities, and it remains a significant and painful chapter in U.S. history. The era highlighted the conflicts between the U.S. government and Native American nations, as well as the broader issues of sovereignty, land rights, and cultural survival.

P. S. Sorry (not sorry), Mr. Jackson, we’re still here!

Rhymes of the States by Garrett Newkirk with drawings by Harry Fenn after sketches by the author. It was manufactured by De Vinne Press and published by Century Co. in New York in 1896. The work contains prose and verse that is intended to be entertaining and educational. However, the piece on Indian Territory is a prime example of colonial discourse. 

Pushing the Bear: A Novel of the Trail of Tears is a historical novel by Diane Glancy (Cherokee). Our copy is a first edition published by Harcourt Brace (New York) in 1996. The novel tells the story of Cherokee removal and their journey along the Trail of Tears. 

Songs from the Native Lands: poetry by Victoria Lena Manyarrows (Tsalagi/Eastern Cherokee), published by Nopal Press (San Francisco) in 1995. The poems featured are titled We Remember/The Trail of Tears and Unthanksgiving/We Will Not Be Invisible.

List of Possibly Useful Media

     A goal of mine is to compile a list of productive, accessible media for the curious-minded.  Perhaps the order will not matter but I’ll try my best to arrange them in a sequence that comfortably welcomes skeptics.  What I’ve found throughout my research is that once you’re able to get the ball rolling inside your own heart/mind in terms of understanding/belief, watching more content begins to reinforce things you seem to already inherently know, as if you’re being reminded of information that has been dormant inside of you for a while.  It’s possible that certain pieces of media will activate more understanding than others and each of us are bound to have our own individual, personal journeys.

     Most of these pieces are intended to be viewed after the curious individual has already shaken out and worked through much of their personal curiosities regarding the ‘spookier’ side of cryptid study, or after they have already clicked on all the scary bedtime story videos they needed to watch to get initial fears and jitters out of their system.  Such a sort of adrenaline-fueled kind of research can be fun for the viewer but remember, the ultimate goal is not to champion fearful or paranoid conspiracy but instead a more calm understanding and Knowing.  It’s difficult to predict which specific videos will resonate with each individual, so what I will try to do is point people in the right directions and they can explore the contents of these resources on their own as they wish.

     Something significant to note is that even though most of these content creators came to their conclusions completely independent of each other, they are for the most part each pursuing similar goals of peaceful contact and developing honest relationships.  Over time many figures in these fields have come to discover each other and begin collaborations.  (Many of the contactees have been encouraged to get in touch with other contactees, scientists with other scientists, etc.)  The more one learns, the more it becomes apparent that meaningful connections can be made through genuine spiritual development.

- Unacknowledged (2017) 1hr. 40min. documentary on Netflix.  Compelling, comprehensive introduction to the Sirius Disclosure Project and Dr. Steven Greer.  Focuses on definite existence of extraterrestrials and our general abundance of proof, introduces viewer to the project’s vast library of witness testimonies which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmNzkxVwAYg&list=PLnrEt2fIdZ0aBgPuVF0C_T559YR20eDTc

There are also several filmed lectures given by Dr. Greer with additional information.

- Sasquatch Ontario Youtube Channel.  There are several beautiful pieces to the grander puzzle to be found here.  Mike Paterson is a field researcher who has developed a special friendship with some Sasquatch.  While each of his videos contain rewarding discoveries and truths, a possible starting point in his collection might be the video of real-time material interactions he recorded April 13, 2013: https://youtu.be/5e8kci3De6k

A similar channel with peaceful and grateful videos of found tree structures is Southern Ontario Sasquatch: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLhzomlENPfEujU7O2GNb_w/videos

Mike Paterson is also the focus of an episode of Speaking of Sasquatch, another helpful and respectful youtube channel by filmmaker Christopher Munch featuring extensive interviews with various sasquatch contactees and mediums, such as Kathleen Odom.  Munch completed the film Letters From The Big Man in 2011, a gorgeous fictional narrative film about a woman’s interactions with sasquatch.  Many prominent figures in this field were consulted throughout production and the resulting movie is described as the most accurate portrayal thus far in a film about the sasquatch people.  Munch’s channel can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPLJHvU6Dwb73oD-ulFw78A

- Su Walker’s Youtube Channel features introductory materials to her and Rev. White Otter’s communications with the P’nti: https://youtu.be/BDAHY9PwrGM

She receives instructions that help to guide earth humans through their first clumsy steps in telepathic communication.  Check out the Telepathy 101 Primer on their website, https://officialfirstcontact.com/

The couple is also featured in many trusted materials on psychic sasquatch, as Su has been asked to draw friendly portraits of Sasquatch People as well as the P’nti crew.  

- One such piece of media is the wonderful Sasquatch Speaks documentary series, beginning with part 1: https://youtu.be/M6iduWmgKFo

This series features several sasquatch/interspecies communicators, from the older and more experienced to the younger and more novice.  The series is 3 feature-length parts each consisting of in-depth interviews filmed on location at a Psychic Sasquatch Conference in Washington.  Some of the many knowledgable communicators include Kewaunee and Kelly Lapseritis, Garrett Duncan, Sunbow Truebrother, Clifford Mahooty, Gayle Fowler, and Derrell Stokes.  

- Planet Weird’s Hellier five-part documentary series (available in its entirety on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PlanetWeirdHQ/videos ) seeks to explain and connect various synchronicities experienced by the filmmakers while they look into a curious case involving “goblins.”  Eventually, as with the best paranormal investigation narratives, the team discovers slippery but affirmative evidence that events of “high strangeness” are often connected in poetic and unexplainable ways.  This is a patient watch, as anyone already convinced of interdimensionality and portals will find themselves waiting for the filmmakers to ‘catch on’ to the connections quicker.  The pace can be helpful for skeptics, however, as it is compelling to see a team of researchers each coming to such fascinating conclusions in their own time.  I also enjoyed getting to know these researchers through the footage; later in my research it was fun to see Greg Newkirk and Dana Matthews interview Kathleen Odom on the otherwise-misguided Animal Planet show Finding Bigfoot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZf-Q--pBsU

- By way of easy-watching, more accessible family friendly sasquatch fare I recommend Harry and the Hendersons (1987) and Smallfoot (2018)

Relatively accurate narrative films I’ve seen on the subject of extraterrestrials so far seem to reach a pinnacle with Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and Contact (1997)

A lot more names on this list than you would expect for an SEC West showdown.

So about that slow start problem on defense... After struggling some in the first four weeks to get off the field on the opening drive, Auburn’s defense forced two 3 & outs Saturday night. When they took the field for a 3rd time the score was already 21-0. We should do that more often.

Auburn’s blowout victory over Mississippi State allowed Kevin Steele to get a lot of different guys snaps Saturday night. I thought a few youngsters shined in their limited work but any time you can empty the bench against an SEC West opponent it was probably a good night.

As always, there’s the caveat to not take these numbers as gospel. That’s especially true after discovering I might have borked last week’s numbers due to some spreadsheet dumbness... Have no fear though because this week I am at least sure the tallies are correct! Whether or not the number I actually entered in is correct is debatable but whatever. You will get what you get and YOU WILL LIKE IT!

(Sorry a little fired up, it’s Florida week)

Defensive Line

#1 Big Kat Bryant - 35 snaps

#5 Derrick Brown - 34 snaps

#94 Tyrone Truesdell - 31 snaps

#3 Marlon Davidson - 30 snaps

#91 Nick Coe - 25 snaps

#45 Caleb Johnson - 18 snaps

#96 Jaren Handy - 15 snaps

#55 T.D. Moultry - 14 snaps

#25 Colby Wooden - 14 snaps

#44 Daquan Newkirk - 13 snaps

#8 Coynis Miller - 13 snaps

#97 Gary Walker - 10 snaps

#63 Peyton Nance - 8 snaps

As always, Derrick Brown and Marlon Davidson were fantastic. While they don’t always load the stat sheet up with gaudy totals, there is no denying their impact. Brown especially was a handful for the Bulldogs most of the night. Heres’ a great example of him recording 0 stats but making an insane play.

A 6’5” 300+ lb human being should not be that quick.

However, it was some of the rotational pieces that made me most excited. I thought Daquan Newkirk, Coynis Miller and Caleb Johnson all had great games against Mississippi State. It was especially encouraging to see Miller play well considering his rocky start to 2019. He flashed some of that power we have been waiting to see.

Kylin Hill didn’t break 50 yards rushing Saturday night and his longest run was 13 yards. A big reason why was Auburn’s ability to clog the run lanes up front and force Hill to consistently try to bounce outside. Unfortunately for him, K.J. Britt and company were often waiting. It was a redemptive performance for this defense, specifically this front 4, after last year’s debacle. Each week they continue to show why many consider them to be the best DL in college football.

Linebacker

#31 Chandler Wooten - 29 snaps

#10 Owen Pappoe - 25 snaps

#35 Zakoby McClain - 25 snaps

#33 K.J. Britt - 24 snaps

#30 Michael Harris - 14 snaps

#27 Tanner Dean - 8 snaps

I tweeted the week prior that K.J. Britt had a chance to have a big game Saturday night and big game he had indeed. The junior had 5 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss and a sack. He only played 24 snaps but he made quite the impact in his limited work.

One of the biggest moments of the night though came from Auburn’s freshman linebacker Owen Pappoe. Mississippi State picked on him a bit with some of their RPOs and you can tell it had the youngster’s head spinning but he came through with a HUGE play late in the 2nd quarter punching the ball out of Garrett Shrader’s hands at the 5 yard line. Jeremiah Dinson recovered it and Auburn was able to march down the field and put a 6th TD on the board before the end of the half

I thought it was really interesting to see Michael Harris check into the game midway through the 3rd quarter when Auburn still had a number of starters still playing. Travis Williams did that often with K.J. Britt and Chandler Wooten the past two seasons so it shows that he’s one of those guys being groomed to be up next. I thought he acquitted himself well but still has a ways to go before he can crack the rotation. But it’s those type of snaps that helped prepare Britt and Wooten to be ready for this season. Hopefully it will be the same for Harris when his time comes.

Secondary

#4 Noah Igbinoghene - 47 snaps

#23 Roger McCreary - 42 snaps

#20 Jeremiah Dinson - 37 snaps

#6 Christian Tutt - 32 snaps

#24 Daniel Thomas - 30 snaps

#9 Jamien Sherwood - 28 snaps

#21 Smoke Monday - 24 snaps

#13 Javaris Davis - 22 snaps

#18 Nehemiah Pritchett - 18 snaps

#15 Jordyn Peters - 18 snaps

#11 Zion Puckett - 8 snaps

#12 Devan Barrett - 8 snaps

#16 Malcolm Askew - 8 snaps

#26 Jaylin Simpson - 8 snaps

Auburn’s secondary continues to excel as tacklers in the open field. Kevin Steele puts the backend of this defense in a lot of situations where a missed tackle could prove disastrous and these guys continue to come through. Auburn will need more of that this week against the Gators who have a very talented receiving corps.

Dinson continued his monster senior campaign earning his 2nd sack of the year on Mississippi State’s first possession. Kylin Hill wanted no part of Dinson on this play.

However, I do think Auburn’s secondary got away with some busts Saturday night due to the inaccuracy of Mississippi State’s young QB. There were some shots available that he didn’t hit. The Tigers will need to get that cleaned up fast with some of the offenses lurking still on this schedule.

War Eagle!

Monday round-up

Today the Supreme Court kicks off its last week of oral arguments this term with arguments in three cases. The first is Lucia v. Securities and Exchange Commission, which asks whether SEC administrative law judges are “officers of the United States” within the meaning of the appointments clause. Ronald Mann previewed the case for this blog. Leonardo Mangat and D.E. Wagner preview the case for Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute. Subscript has a graphic explainer for the case. For The Wall Street Journal, Dave Michaels and Brent Kendall report that “[i]f the justices rule for Mr. Lucia, it could invalidate the penalties against him and give a leg up to a handful of other defendants who similarly disputed the hiring process for SEC judges [, which] also could encourage challenges from defendants who grappled with administrative law judges at other federal agencies.” At Bloomberg, Margaret Newkirk and Greg Stohr report that “[s]iding with [Lucia]—and against the SEC’s long-standing position—will be the Trump administration,” and that the case “amounts to a broadside aimed at the 1,900 administrative law judges (ALJs) who help federal agencies enforce laws and are a key part of the administrative ‘deep state’ that Trump has vowed to dismantle.” At Law360 (subscription required), Daniel Walfish analyzes Lucia’s “practical significance for pending and future cases, and the Trump administration’s unusual bid to weaken the independence of ALJs.” In an op-ed for the Washington Examiner, Philip Hamburger argues that “[t]here is … no reason for the justices to strain the Constitution to approve the SEC’s indirect appointment method.”

The second argument this morning is in Pereira v. Sessions, in which the justices will consider how to interpret a provision of the criminal-removal statute. Jennifer Chacon had this blog’s preview. Larry Blocho and Ryan Powers preview the case for Cornell, and Subscript offers a graphic explainer. [Disclosure: Goldstein & Russell, P.C., whose attorneys contribute to this blog in various capacities, is among the counsel on an amicus brief in support of the petitioner in this case. The author of this post is not affiliated with the firm.]

After a lunch break, the justices will hear argument in Chavez-Meza v. United States, which asks how fully a judge must explain a sentencing modification. This blog’s preview came from Susan Klein. Cornell’s preview is by Axel Schamis and Katherine Van Bramer. Subscript’s graphic explainer is here. For The Wall Street Journal, Jess Bravin reports that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will take the lectern for the government for his first Supreme Court argument, and that “despite his managerial responsibilities over thousands of Justice Department employees, Special Counsel Robert Mueller among them, [Rosenstein] considers himself a practicing lawyer first.”

At The Weekly Standard, Adam White explains that “the principles underlying [Justice Neil] Gorsuch’s opinion” in Sessions v. Dimaya, in which he concurred in a judgment holding that a portion of the criminal-removal provision in the Immigration and Nationality Act is unconstitutionally vague, “are largely what propelled him to a Supreme Court nomination in the first place.” At Jost on Justice, Kenneth Jost argues that “[o]riginalists promise in part that originalism can yield definite answers to hard legal issues and thus force judges to decide cases solely on the basis of law instead of their personal views,” “[b]ut the promise is an illusion, as seen in the dueling opinions of the two originalist justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch” in Dimaya.

In a podcast for Law360 (subscription required), Maria Koklanaris discusses South Dakota v. Wayfair, in which the justices will reconsider a ruling that limits the ability of state governments to require out-of-state online retailers to charge tax on sales to state residents. In an op-ed for The Washington Post, Daniel Hemel weighs in on the case, hoping that “by the end of Tuesday’s oral argument, it was clear to the justices that they can’t rely on Congress or on Amazon to solve the problem,” and that “[p]assing the buck here will cause states and localities to lose billions of dollars more in sales tax revenue.” [Disclosure: Goldstein & Russell, P.C., whose attorneys contribute to this blog in various capacities, is among the counsel to the petitioner in this case.]

Court-watchers are homing in on Wednesday’s oral argument in Trump v. Hawaii, a challenge to the latest version of the Trump administration’s entry ban. At Bloomberg, Greg Stohr reports that “[t]he court will consider whether the travel ban’s roots lie in anti-Muslim comments Trump made during his campaign, whether he overstepped his authority under immigration laws and whether judges can second-guess the president’s national-security assessments.” For The Washington Post, Robert Barnes observes that “similar to a debate that has consumed Washington for the past 15 months, a major issue for the court is separating ‘the president’ from ‘this president.’” Additional coverage comes from Lawrence Hurley at Reuters and Lydia Wheeler at The Hill. At Balkinization, Marty Lederman offers “a few thoughts about the almost forgotten, but potentially significant, third Question Presented in the case: ���Whether the [district court’s] global injunction is impermissibly overbroad.’”At Casetext, David Boyle surveys the “’Christian’ amicus briefs” “either for Petitioners, Trump et al., or for neither party.”

Briefly:

At the Associated Press, Jessica Gresko reports that “Susette Kelo’s Supreme Court case now has a Hollywood ending, just not the one she hoped for”: Kelo’s fight to keep the city of New London, Conn., from seizing her property to make way for development has been turned into a movie, “Little Pink House,” which the current mayor of New London calls “a cautionary tale about two sides becoming so polarized they couldn’t find a middle ground.”

For the Austin American-Statesman, Chuck Lindell takes note of the possible effects of the court’s partisan-gerrymandering cases on Abbott v. Perez, two consolidated challenges to Texas redistricting that will be argued tomorrow.

Constitution Daily offers highlights from the career of retired Justice John Paul Stevens in honor of Stevens’ 98th birthday last Friday.

At The Atlantic, Garrett Epps observes that “Justice Neil Gorsuch may have had a slightly awkward first year, but he just racked up a hell of a week,” “hiring the Court’s first-ever Native American law clerk” and issuing “two skillful high-profile opinions—a concurrence in an important immigration case and a dissent in a death-penalty decision.”

At The New Republic, Matt Ford reports that “unless there’s a deluge of opinions in the next few weeks, this term may end up being one of the court’s slowest, ever.”

We rely on our readers to send us links for our round-up.  If you have or know of a recent (published in the last two or three days) article, post, podcast, or op-ed relating to the Supreme Court that you’d like us to consider for inclusion in the round-up, please send it to roundup [at] scotusblog.com. Thank you!

Historical Curriculum Collection Exhibit: Maps and Atlases

The new quarterly exhibition of materials from the Historical Curriculum Collection focuses on maps, atlases, and geography. It is currently on view in the Curriculum Collection on the second floor of the UWM Libraries, and will remain on view through mid-October.

While the world is a physical object, maps are abstractions of that physical object, with man-made additions such as countries, and latitude and longitude lines. The of Earth’s surface is sometimes too large to comprehend without a picture. Maps are a versatile way of making the world more understandable. Through images, it becomes easier to “see” the size of the Earth and all the people it contains. Before the digitization and the internet, physical atlases were the best way to teach about the world’s countries and cultures in a classroom.

This exhibition offers examples of geographical textbooks used in classrooms from the 1890s to the 19802, including:

Rhymes of the States by Newkirk Garrett and illustrated by Harry Fenn, 1896. All of the 45 states as well as some of the territories are included in the book. Along with poems to help children remember the names and region of each state, it includes information about the states’ industries and symbols.. 

A School Atlas of English History by Samuel Rawson Gardiner, 1892. While not all out-of-date atlases are helpful, this 1892 atlas was created specifically for children learning about English history and all its maps are historical rather than modern. 

Geography Journeys in Distant Lands by Prof. Harlan H. Barrows and Prof. Edith Putnam Parker, 1924. Information in this book is a travelogue style story with photographs and maps illustrating the places that are presented. One of its “quirks,” which is explained in the introduction, is that none of the maps or photographs have labels, which could either make it unusable or a very specific teaching tool.

A Shepherd Boy of Australia by Margaret Sutton, 1941. This work of fiction uses maps and photographs of the real places the story is set in to teach children about the culture and environment of the country.

Hammond’s Illustrated Atlas for Young America, published by the C. S. Hammond and Company publishing house, 1956. Along with geographical information and maps, this atlas includes information about the Earth’s geologic makeup, the solar system, and a guide to beginners’ map reading.

Big Blue Marble Atlas by Paula S. Brown and Robert L. Garrison and illustrated by John Trotta, 1980. This atlas was published as a tie-in to a children’s educational television show about world countries and cultures.
