Shawaran. His Mark.

His home at Aspetuck, in so-called Fairfield, Connecticut, on the Saugatuck River. 

Named in this document as an Indian and a Sachem, but without reference to his tribal nation  (Here we will assume Paugussett, but invite readers to share more information if known!). This land deed transfers land from Shawaran to Thomas Hopewell and his wife, Time, both also Native, living in so-called Windsor, Connecticut.

His kin: a father, Nem (spelled as written in the document).

Land deed recorded at Hartford, November 24, 1668. Seen at John Hay Library.

Hi (I find that people like to say mean things to me because I put a little $$$ on my blaze, I didn’t really know it’s for art per say but I do know that my playlist is worth it…hear me out!!!)

I was born in a affluent family of African American/ Portuguese/ Golden hill Paugussett indigenous heritage

Mom listened to Mick Hucknall, originally at the Sex Pistol gig! Went on to form Simply Red. Dad listened to only black music, I used to get beat for listening to Editors, Interpol and Tokyo Police Club, bad too… fucker broke my shoulder and then took me to the doctors lol

Dad left, so I got to expand my taste. For awhile I just discovered British bands

This collection is not just music I heard that I put on a playlist, half of it is dear to me! Very dear! I wouldn’t be the same person if it weren’t for the collective of dark subgenres. Please, enjoy over 300 hours featuring no particular annoying order, perfect for random searches and long nights of … well painting and studying!!!!

I’ll admit I do have some color…

The Quiripi language

Quiripi is an Algonquian language once spoken in Long Island and Connecticut, including the territory where Yale sits today.

Its last speakers died in the early 1900s, and the language was never well documented. We have only a few poorly transcribed word lists, so we know little about its grammar except what we can guess from closely related Algonquian languages.

It was spoken by the Quinnipiac, Unquachog, Mattabessett, Podunk, Tunxis, and Paugussett (including Naugatuck, Potatuck, Weantinock) groups in the area.

Veterans’ Day is a National holiday that honors the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. It keeps the importance of those who protect our homeland close to our hearts and reminds us of their bravery and valor. Native Americans have fought valiantly in the United States military in every conflict since the American Revolution, even before Native Americans gained U.S. citizenry in 1924. Honoring Native warriors and veterans has always been part of indigenous culture. It keeps the importance of those who protect our homeland close to our hearts and reminds us of their bravery and valor. Each year, in honor of Veterans Day, the Institute for American Indian Studies in Washington Connecticut honors the exceptional military service of Native Americans in a formal dedication. This year, the Institute is once again inviting the public to participate in the program that will honor Native and non-Native Americans whose passion and loyalty have helped to make America what it is today on Sunday, November 5 at 12:30 p.m. The Institute is located at 38 Curtis Road in Washington Connecticut. At this year’s event, veteran Gary Tinney, Paugussett, will lead the ceremony. New at this year’s event is the Yootay Singers Drum Group based out of Mashantucket, CT, which will perform honor songs recognizing the rich contributions of Native and Non-Native Americans who have bravely served side by side in the U.S. Armed Forces. Allan Madahbee (Ojibwe) will also join the ceremony and play Amazing Grace on his traditionally crafted flute. Attendees will be immersed in a meaningful ceremony that is a powerful experience. The ceremony will be outside so attendees are advised to dress appropriately for the weather. In the event of rain, the ceremony or portions of it will be held inside the museum. This event is free and open to the public, but pre-registration and donations are always appreciated. Registration is at http://iaismuseum.org.

The Golden Hill Paugussett Indian Tribe

The name of this tribe comes from land that was given to them in 1659 that was deemed a “Golden Hill” that was given to the tribe in hopes of being kept “forever” despite attempts for the state to take it back. Ultimately, it a small plot of land that the people have to keep track of before it does get taken away, as they are all currently fighting to be federally recognized. They attempted once before, and now want to try again, ready to fight the government so far as to challenge that the “no second chance” rule is unconstitutional. In 1996, their chief Moonface Bear died, who was a big leader in asking for sovereignty, who often did so illegally by selling gasoline and cigarettes without tax where they should have because he wanted to prove they deserved sovereignty, and many people followed him. Following his death however, his tribe’s unity crumbled and they are fighting still for federal recognition. Their culture and history was strong and apparently lively enough that there is actually a whole book written about it, written by historian Charles Brilvitch. Their culture now is also shattered due to being urbanized hand having many interracial relationships, especially with the black community. It is disappointing to see people fight so hard over something that should be a birthright, and we can only hope they succeed at becoming an independent nation so they can be as successful as their other Connecticut tribes, the Pequots and Mohegans.

Game of Dog Bones by Laurien Berenson

Standard Poodle owner Melanie Travis is an excellent judge of dogs--and people. But what happens when an unnamed killer emerges at one of the fiercest all-breed competitions ever? As Greenwich, Connecticut, slows down during a bitterly cold February, Melanie and her spunky Aunt Peg head to the city that never sleeps for the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at Madison Square Garden. Aunt Peg can't wait to demonstrate her judging chops on national TV, even after being hounded by frustrating mishaps--all seemingly orchestrated by Victor Durbin, an ousted Paugussett Poodle Club member with a bone to pick. But the bright lights of the show ring grow dim when Victor is found murdered, and she's the one topping the suspect list . . .Driven to solve the crime on her aunt's behalf, Melanie fetches hair-raising clues about the victim. Victor didn't score many friends with his unethical breeding practices, sketchy puppy caf�, and penchant for mercilessly scamming others to get ahead. He burned so many bridges that his own business partner admits to being delighted by news of his death. It appears Victor finally toyed with the wrong person, and as Melanie digs up more chilling evidence, she realizes that exonerating Aunt Peg means confronting a murderer who's in it to win it . . .

Golden Paugussett Native American Veterans Honored in Native American Ceremony @ Institute for American Indian Studies

Golden Paugussett Native American Veterans Honored in Native American Ceremony @ Institute for American Indian Studies

Historically, American Indians were known as warriors. It is a deep tradition that has continued to modern times. Perhaps this is why Native Americans have a long-standing record of proud military service on behalf of the United States as well as a higher rate of military service than any other racial or ethnic group in the country. Native American patriotism is inextricably connected to the land…

Still haven’t heard from anyone regarding jobs or grad school. Grr.....

I’m actually starting to get frustrated. I’ve done research at an R1 on a volunteer basis. There was only so much I was allowed to do b/c I was a visitor and an undergrad. I could only be there 15 hours a week bc of my work schedule and my mentor’s 9-6p schedule. I did a bunch of research at my undergrad institute but could only go so far b/c not only did I really get the mentoring support, or good projects, but I also didn’t even get real supply support. Like when I worked with lasers, I couldn’t even get my mentor to buy green protective glasses - he said there was no money in the dept budget b/c the orgo people got it all. So I mean, I COULD try to volunteer in another lab (or for another fucking year in this lab). I MIGHT have more autonomy given that I now have a bachelor’s degree. But.....And everyone I’ve spoken to says, ‘don’t worry about the grades, it’s about the research.’ It seems to me the only thing I can do at this point is take more courses and get good grades. It’s extremely frustrating to me. I try to do what people tell me to do to climb out of my hole but I never get out. I feel like if I was younger, prettier, blond, a guy, maybe not a POC, people would be more willing to give me the benefit of the doubt or do more or let me do more. I can’t even believe I said that. I NEVER would have said that before. But what else is there at this point? What else can I do? No other mentors or mentorish people have given me any other suggestions on what to do.

I’m really frustrated in advance of being rejected by this one school, b/c I’ve had, several times now, directors talk with me and tell me to apply and that I have a good chance. Why tell me if you’re going to reject me? But at this point, fuck you. B/c I can do everything you can do, and in the case of R3′s I can do it BETTER as an UNDERGRAD. I’ll get a fucking job, get a fucking master’s, however long it takes, and get into a fucking PhD program. 

But I’m sick and tired of not qualifying for undergrad opportunities, then when I finally graduate, I still don’t qualify for post-grad opportunities. And now, even though everyone told me once I got my bachelor’s it wouldn’t matter that it wasn’t technically in chemistry, I have to justify why I don’t have a bachelor’s in chemistry. And I have to LIE about it! I have to lie and not say it’s because of discrimination (personal against me as a personality, as well as the violating the ADA kind), it’s b/c of my schedule. When the fuck do I get to take off the millstone around my fucking neck?!

Watching the Scandal finale. Apparently it’s gonna fuck me up. At the moment, I was just thrilled to see a female president sworn in. The finale doesn’t make sense. Like, it did for the period of the finale. But then when I started thinking about it, nope.

I started thinking about some things that I’ve thought of before, but it came up b/c of someone I follow on twitter. She was talking about how poor her childhood was. I was poor as a child but it was a much different poor. So last night I put some thought into it, which I have before, but I feel like I need to put it on paper. I was the child of a single mother. One without a college degree. We were poor. She worked two jobs, 60-80 or even more hours per week most of my life. I do believe that kept us up. But as an adult, knowing my expenses, and ours from childhood, I’ve always wondered if we really had to be THAT poor. We rented a 3 bedroom in a house. A nice apartment. It made sense when my grandfather lived with us, but we should have moved. We could have gone to the library instead of buying books from the bookstore. We could have cooked more instead of eating out (which is actually a common issue for poor people that work too much). I mean my mother was bad with finances. If she had been better, we would have been better off. If she didn’t want to live outside the ghetto, which we did until I was 6(?), we would have been better off. We could have saved money, not gotten in debt, and then maybe she wouldn’t have had to work so damn hard. Because I think she made a relatively decent salary, simply b/c she had the same job for 28 years. I mean, if she had job-hopped she would have made more. But me being aware of her salary came after she had been in a job for many years, so I don’t really know how tough it was when she first started working there. Anyway, I know a few times when I contributed to bad financial decisions but after many many years of therapy I can finally wonder why she even listened to me? I was a damn child. So anyway, I was wondering if poverty due to bad choices really counts as the same as poverty due to other circumstances.

Finally, this has been weighing on me, but it finally came out from the trip to MN combined with RHOA. It always bothers me when people call me white. I feel like it minimizes me and who I am and my identity and my experiences. But I learned the ‘one drop’ concept of racism, so I always thought of myself as Latina. A bad latina for sure, but nevertheless latina. It wasn’t until this Claudia chick was on RHOA that it ever occurred to me to call myself biracial. I am, by definition, biracial. It just never occurred to me to see myself that way. I guess b/c I think of that in terms of black and white issues. Lord love me, I don’t know why things that are obvious don’t occur to me. In those terms, me feeling bad when people call me white, is really also about me rejecting a part of myself. 

And finally, I feel less legit as a Native American. This came up this weekend when I saw a particular map being sold at a shop that was all Native tribes of the US. It’s the oddest thing, but maps and histories of the Native tribes of the New England area are just not accurate. It’s one thing if the white people or mainstream America get it wrong, but if the indigenous people do too? What’s up with that?

Depending on some of the histories I’ve read, a bunch of smaller, possibly unnamed tribes came together or was assigned a group name of Paugussett. I might be spelling it wrong. But according to other histories, that was never a real tribal name. All I know is that my people lost most land until there were two parcels of reservations, Golden Hill and Turkey Hill. No idea how the people got split into the two groups. But eventually, someone decided to shut down the Turkey Hill reservation and then none of my relatives lived on a reservation. I don’t know if some of them went over to Golden Hill or what. But it just bothers me that other mainstream indigenous groups around the country don’t know what’s what in my neck of the woods. It makes me feel like we aren’t validated by others and that makes me feel invalid. So there you go.

fuck me
