While less than half of the voters (far less than half of the nation) expects the End, the Worst, the Darkest Timeline, we should remember how many people among us have survived *our* culture’s efforts to destroy theirs. We invaded one continent and enslaved another. We killed, we “schooled,” we interred, we attempted to destroy languages and histories. And yet, people go on and their languages and practices reemerge after centuries of abuse. It’s a little soon to set fire to our hair.
