Among the productive things to come out of these conversations for me—I promise, really, I hadn't meant this to be so provocative!—was looking at the program of the upcoming @WhaHistory conference. Now I know why all the cool people go. There are so many Indigenous scholars! https://twitter.com/Molina_EnvHist/status/1300155598072410113

It's not that I was ever actively avoiding the conference or the organization, I just don't really work on the U.S. West (though I realize what the "West" even means is part of the conversation; I do work on western Massachusetts, including when some saw it as "the West").

But especially now that things are online this year, I'm really looking forward to engaging more. There's so much good stuff!
