Yes, it's only very recently that there's been any media attention paid to enslaved people north of the 49th. The project of white supremacy, land expropriation, enslavement and genocide goes deep and wide, as does its denial and in/voluntary amnesia. Solidarity to you and yours! I'm really glad those museums are up and telling important stories.
