Looking forward to more in this series. I moved to Madison not too long ago so it's great to learn some history of the area.

I live in Madison, Wisconsin. I love it here. It's a lot like Vermont.

Thank you for your awareness of how Madison is a result of all that was stolen from the Indigenous inhabitants. I am interested in the pre-colonial history of the area. My family has been in the area since then..

[@NativeHoney608]

Thank you again. We are not often honored in the way you have. I’d love to take you out to lunch sometime

Reported as HATE SPEECH! Black Supremacy is just as harmful as White Supremacy! #NativePride

@@n3wu53r4 it's Black Supremacy. They argue that they are the original inhabitants and that all the Native tribes are delusional, water downed versions of them. It's insanity.
