3 o'clock in the morning...
I flew home on the 'red eye' (night time) flight last nite from Vancouver. Since then I've talked about 'school' stuff with quite a few people: an Aboriginal Studies class and my Saami colleague Rauna K during the day (in 'real life'), this evening with Daniel J over dinner and then during and after a documentary we watched here at my place, and finally with Niigaanwewidom S over facebook tonite. All of these conversations and exchanges have been about scholarship, ethics, community relationships, sovereignty, race... and all of them have been intense but also invigorating.
Te tau okioki is a chance to have the time and energy and focus to read widely, and to seek out like minds, and to talk...
Oh, and to write.
