Time to Act
Knowledge requires action. Is it right that so many universities in the US know that they are sitting on indigenous lands that were stolen, yet these institutions do nothing but offer a paltry acknowledgment… lip service! What good does that do for the indigenous peoples who were robbed, exploited and forced from their lands. GIVE IT BACK! What good could be done if Yale gave their campus property back to the Native American Quinnipiac tribe that once flourished on that land? Yale has a $40B+ endowment. They have the ability to do what is right by giving the land back to the indigenous people it was stolen from and relocate. Or Yale can buy the land from the Quinnipiac indigenous people at current market value. This is one example of thousands in the US… hypocrisy! All those who are for making things right should demand that these universities give the land back to the rightful owners or pay these exploited indigenous people current market value for the property. Acknowledgment does nothing but pour salt on multigenerational wounds. Atonement by these ultra-wealthy institutions is the only action that can begin to heal the wounds. Berkeley, Harvard, Princeton, Reed, USC, etc, etc… are each built on stolen lands. These are hypocritical institutions that love to give lip service, but NOTHING more. Let’s confront their hypocrisy and make them choose to do what is within their ability to right the wrongs of the past.Wonderful!
The resources are great and present info as clearly as can be expected, given shifting boundaries across time and imprecision of some historical data.
I’m so grateful that you added the ability to mark your current location! I understand why modern cities, borders, and roads aren’t on the map, but it can be challenging to find where you are, especially in some of the less-distinct stretches in the middle of the continent; having the geolocation option is extremely helpful.Developer Response
