Hound Tor Deserted Medieval Village, Dartmoor

This settlement, situated about 350m above sea level, consists of a cluster of C13 granite longhouses, in which people lived at one end and animals at the other, on land that was originally farmed in the Bronze Age. Hound Tor was probably deserted in the early C14 as widespread falling temperatures and rising rainfall caused crop failures and cattle disease, that hit this upland community badly.

Babeny Farm, Dartmoor

Former Devon longhouse, early-mid C16, with house end ruined, though shippon and passage remain intact and still in agricultural use. On right-hand wall of passage, now the gable end, is a large granite-framed fireplace, with an absolutely massive lintel, which although nicely shaped is probably far larger than was necessary and must have been extremely difficult to manoeuver into place.

Reposting this video of the Swamp family speaking (Haudenosaunee elders and their son, Skahendowaneh Swamp); can rarely remember tags originally posted it under. Should have been under #Democracy or #Longhouse or something similar, but is not. Want it easier to find and discuss. Is timely and relative today...

All discussions about the drama-filled US government happenings should always acknowledge how YOUNG this government is, young like a teeny bopper. To make this acknowledgement as a sane and sober human intent on decolonizing, you might want to read something like _Killing the White Man's Indian_[2] for a more proper perspective on how natives view time and #timelines.

Hint: you don't need to be white to mindlessly enable white supremacy!

About ~49 minutes into the video, the Iroquois elder talks about this, and about how the main ideas for what the US thinks of as its "Democracy" were actually "borrowed" from First Nations native peoples. The colonists, of course, adapted it to be "white man friendly" by destroying the best and most crucial* part of a matriarchal society. (*The 13 indigenous clan mothers could kick out anyone suspected of bringing corruption to the lower tribal courts.)

We have no such checks!

Unfortunately, "fake plastic trees" Amy Coney Barrett cannot be trusted to fend off patriarchal institutions dreamt up by the wasicu. She belongs to Barbie Doll land. Her appointment was not done to lessen the whiteman's capacity for corruption; the opposite is true: she is a complicit enabler of white supremacy, a corrupt node. Her patriarchal ideas about womanhood and women will do nothing good for the future generations. And going forward, we STILL DO NOT have a representative democracy.

Don't sit on your laurels.

Scary times are not over.

Nobody is out of the woods.

We still need brave activists and fearlessness outspoken against the wasicu. Stop the ongoing #genocide of native peoples.
