shivers reading about the indigenous history of the midwest:
"they called him out in the traditional manner, by rasping their knives against the tepee's hides."
the homestead act of 1862 which gave 160 acres of land to anyone over 21 for $1.25 an acre, disregarding the fact that there were already native peoples living there. ironic considering the current state of affairs- perhaps we could send ice back to 1862
