Why should we (Native scholars & scholars of Native American history) be called in to clean up this mess? Haven’t we already put in the time sharing our work, in person at conferences and in print in books and articles? https://twitter.com/historianess/status/1284480211631902721
I can think of multiple scholars, myself included, who have participated in interventions at SHEAR conferences over the years. And to what end? SHEAR had the paper, they knew what he said and how he said it, they knew where Feller stood, and they still went forward.
To paraphrase someone who is far smarter who made an important comment in another, similar situation earlier this year: *read the scholarship* of those working at the intersection of History and Native American and Indigenous Studies.
You can also follow Native scholars, Native journalists, and Native organizations.
Attend our conferences and *listen* deeply.
Cite our work. Assign our publications.
And clean up your own house before thinking about approaching us.

If you need help finding somewhere to start this reading, take a peek at a forum I co-edited a few years ago that was jointly published by the William and Mary Quarterly and Early American Literature. https://twitter.com/kawulf/status/1284461251335249921?s=20
