They don’t say who they are at this blog, though they look interesting. They mention a local conference, but not the city it’s in. Do you know more?

“arawak city” is here.
the arawak people were some of the first
western-hemisphere natives encountered
by columbus (the man). so some people
uncomfortable with living in a city named
for the symbol of the european conquest
*renamed* us…
this doesn’t appear to be very well known though.

It’s a nice symmetry. (Although I think a better option would respect the land and its original people, and name your city after them, instead of people indigenous to the West Indies.)
There were so many tribes in the area I live in, I don’t know which would apply to my neighborhood. About 6 miles south of here was Ohlone.
I grew up in Western Michigan. I don’t know which tribes were where, but there were Ojibwa, Ottawa and Potawatomi in the lower peninsula.

p.s. the conference sounds exciting. please fill us in when it’s over.

great bunch of folks. brimming with ideas
and hope and all that good young-person stuff.
hacker skills too. stuff like that. the presenter
was more in our age range and we… madeline
& i… had a *very* enjoyable conversation with
him later… another crazily-well-read nonstop
talker like myself & the buddy that sent me
his way in the first place…

sheet folded in thirds
the short way. good
stuff too for the most
part: “economics”
becomes quite interesting
when the Big Lies are
factored out…

About 25 years ago, I went to a People’s Economics Seminar. It was good stuff, but (ironically) what I remember is being bummed that they weren’t progressive enough about how to do education. Too much lecture left me antsy…
