Quentin's Weeknotes 10/31/21-11/6/21

weeknotes family teaching indigenous music

This Week:

My family had a pretty good Halloween, all things considered. We marched in the Oneonta Parade, did some trick or treating, and carved pumpkins, which managed to survive until Halloween, despite regular snacking on by deer.
This week in MUST251, we had a day of consultation and planning around the student’s final “object biography” papers, and I lectured about 19th century Native American baskets and tourism.
I partcipated in a panel at the Association on American Indian Affairs Repatriation conference entitled “Nothing that Deserved the Name of Purchase was Made”, in which I discussed our recent consultation work with the Stockbridge-Munsee that resulted in our repatriation of brooches used by John W. Quinney. The panel was great, and got a great response from the audience. I was honored and humbled to take part.
I bought records by All Them Witches, King Buffalo, and The horror.
I also opened this great birthday present from my parents a little early–I couldn’t wait.
