THERON DEROSIER'S MIND...




In Spring 2008, I entered into a collaborative thought process with staff at WSU's CTLT center, a place where I received much technical support for developing an on-line presence.

Theron Desrosier (CTLT staff) assisted me in numerous research and academic pursuits to the will of Indigenous Peoples' Principles.

A fraction of what we accomplished is published on numerous sites, some linked to this site, on the right-hand bar.

During this process, Theron and his CTLT colleagues discussed certain aspects of my project a community-based endeavor geared toward the empowerment of Indigenous women's strategies against western legal thought, systems and institutions along the U.S.-Mexico International Boundary, specifically, relevant to Nde' and Nnee' (Apache) women's still undergrounded histories in colonization--both past and present.

This photo of Theron's 'white board' ''tracking' is a tiny fraction of his communications to his peers about the productivities of Indigenous women researchers' capacities across both 'known' and undergrounded knowledge systems. What has been called 'the Indiginet' by a micro circle of Indigenous researchers.

I include this here as an instructive 'glance' for Indigenous researchers...into the complicated terrain of engaging in collaborations with non-Indigenous polities.

DECOLONIZE U.S. BRDR PRZNZ : #4, SERIES, FROM indigenous brdr narratives after the wall

To experience the community lands in the current period is to merely peer through and above the narrow gaps of thick steel bars. Indigenous peoples are being prevented access and movement to, from and across customary lands, and cultural property by U.S. legislation. Indigenous peoples’ concerted efforts to challenge the legality of U.S. deathscapes and settler ecologies/economies of war: “i.e.: a technology-saturated ‘roof’ of militarized airspace, filled with satellites, space debris plummeting down and being vaporated by NASA Space Engineers in Florida stadium lights, and agents stalking indigenous women under cover, in the dark, infrared radar, watch towers, drones, unmanned spy aircraft, and cyber information sharing crackdowns, spearheaded through the “Virtual Border Neighborhood Watch Program”, “border radio interoperability”, the “Texas Data Exchange” programs, and “K-9 units” [1] demands a critical genocide analysis in the conte

Historical markers tell the tale of Texas history

"Not to mention a roadside roll call of mostly forgotten massacres that would be global sensations if they happened today." Read more here: http://www.star-telegram.com/2012/02/19/3746021/texas-historical-markers-offer.html#storylink=cpy Genocide is deep in the dark heart of Texas. Texas highways have more monuments and plaques, aka ‘road-side history’, which document the settler Texan society’s methods for accumulating capital: land, raw resources, and subjugated labour to refine and distribute earth and bodies as commodities into the market.  In a most sinister and brazen way, Texas highways and roads demonstrate an obsession to glorifying killing societies who got away with atrocity and the mass theft, chilling overthrow, and illegitimate seizure of Indigenous peoples’ sovereign territories, knowledge systems, and raw resources.  Exterminated, mutilated, decapitated, lynched, burned, and deported ‘Indians’ and ‘Mexicans’ is a catch all for anti-Indigenous nation
