How am I most likely to die if I take the green line?

well. my friend suggested hanging your severed head from the ceiling of the boylston station. i guess in their mind that's the most likely, but i disagree. cutting off the head and then putting it out in the open like that would be both impractical and unoriginal.

theyre right about one thing, though. boylston would be a good place to be killed. your screams would mingle with the screeches of the trains and the lighting is harsh but still manages to be dim.

anothing thing about boylston is that it has an old streetcar on display. if you were killed in some relatively non-destructive way, pcc 3295 has been graffiti-ed in a way that had to be from very close, so you could probably hide a body there. would be far more interesting to have a dead body in an unused fenced off streetcar, their limp silhouette visible through the window, than to just have a decapitated head hanging from the ceiling.

on the d line specfically, you intend to disembark at newton highlands or eliot, somehow miss not one but BOTH of them, and die slightly of embarrassment while waiting for a train going the other way because you know you'd get lost if you tried walkign from waban

17: Alanis Obomsawin // Bush Lady

Bush Lady Alanis Obomsawin 1985, Radio Canada (Bandcamp)

A review of the well-meaning things I meant to say about Alanis Obomsawin’s Bush Lady

“No matter how accomplished Obomsawin’s sole LP, 1988’s cult classic Bush Lady may be, it’s naturally overshadowed by her extensive work as a documentary filmmaker. Her searing Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance (available to stream for free from the National Film Board), covering the 1990 Oka standoff between local Indigenous land defenders, Quebec police, and the Canadian military, is a landmark. Her films are celebrated, broadcast on public television, and taught in schools.”

1.5/5—Book report quality. This is a not-very-slick way of admitting the only one of her movies I’ve seen in her most famous one. Also saying a director’s films are “celebrated, broadcast on public television, and taught in schools” in Canada sounds a lot like saying not many people have actually seen them.

“Her roots as a singer-songwriter predate her filmmaking, however. By the late 1950s, when she was in her twenties, she was performing and writing original songs in the Waban-Aki/Abenaki language, English, and French, but her recordings are sporadic prior to cutting this set at the CBC in the mid-1980s. The material was scantly issued at the time, and it probably found its widest listenership after a 2018 reissue by Constellation Records.”

2/5—Solid enough exposition, though it does beg the question why I didn’t just paste in the press release from the label.

“Bush Lady finds her singing and playing a handheld frame drum alongside a Quebecois chamber quartet. I was drawn to the record by ‘Odana,’ a melancholy fable about resisting colonial land grabs written in Abenaki by a tribal elder in the 1800s, which Obomsawin has presumably set to music of her own devising. Arranger Jean Vanasse and the quartet, likely trying to equate the song to a mode they were more familiar with, approach it like Nelson Riddle on Sinatra’s Only the Lonely. Nocturnal strings and woodwinds ripple around Obomsawin’s satiny vocal, lending the tragic folk tale the style of a blue ballad in an urban theatre.”

2.5/5—It took a while, but finally something about the music, an opinion even!

“There may be a bit of a feint in opening an album called Bush Lady with such a high-thread-count piece. ‘Odana’ lulls the non-Abenaki-speaking listener in with its soothingly westernized take on ‘Indian music,’ the lyrics’ message about stolen land masked by the unfamiliar tongue.”

2/5—Translation: “I am sort of embarrassed that the song I like best on this protest album is the one that sounds kind of like Nat King Cole, so I’ll change the subject to rhetoric.”

“But as the music segues into the theatrical 13-minute title track, its politics become explicit even to an English speaker. Obomsawin chants ritualistically over the insistent thump of her frame drum, interspersed with semi-spoken dialogue. She acts out characters: leering white men who harass and prey upon young Native girls; scornful, gossiping housewives; and finally the ‘Bush Lady’ herself, asking a white woman to care for her blonde mixed race child for fear it will be rejected by her own people. The recurring chant serves as a Greek chorus, a mournful counterpoint to the acrid sarcasm of the dialogue. The song undergoes a dramatic shift at the end when the fallen woman is visited by the spirit by her kokum (grandmother), who ushers her into paradise, accompanied by fluttering strings.”

3/5—Decent exegesis. But, dammit man, do you enjoy it or don't you?

“The track is a surprisingly good fit with reissuing label Constellation’s own catalogue. Like their cohort of Godspeed You! Black Emperor-adjacent projects, ‘Bush Lady’ is expansive and confrontational, fusing funereal cello and violin with blunt agitprop. When it works, it has a palpable force. Like agitprop though, the song isn’t subtle fare, and I have to admit the melodramatic conclusion (which is a harp or two away from a caricature of Christian heaven) feels a bit Wizard of Oz to me. I also don’t have a lot to say about the nearly side-length ‘Théo,’ a second drum-driven story song, this one sung in French. It is even more in a spoken word style than ‘Bush Lady,’ and as an Anglophone I can’t glean much despite another magnetic Obomsawin vocal.”

2.5/5—Reader, that must be one comfortable fence.

“I’m glad to have this reissue of Bush Lady in my collection for its transfixing A-side, and its significant overall historical interest. It’s well worth a listen for the curious.”

Waban & Violet

[theirmarks]

Miswaban. Waban. His Mark.

His homes at Nonamtum (present day Newton) and Natick, at the confluence of Nipmuc and Massachusett homelands. Probably born at Musketaquid, near present day “Concord, Massachusetts.” Primary records and contemporary research both confuse and misidentify(?) his tribal identity.  Active as a leader in various Praying Towns in Massachusetts. Despite this, Waban and his family were interred at Deer Island during the First Indian War (or King Philip’s War). Contested the “sale” of some lands in and around Natick. Died 1684. 

The Algonquian word waban can be translated to the English word for wind.

Some kin: a partner, called Tasunsquaw, their son, Weegramomenit or Thomas.

7. McCord Museum

The activity I chose is the first one suggested in the McCord Museum website, which is to “find out the names of the 11 Indigenous nations in Quebec, and learn to locate the territories with which they identify.” I chose this activity because I think it’s really important, now more than ever, to start recognizing the rights of Indigenous people and to stop excluding them from history. In fact, Indigenous nations were here way before us and I think it’s only fair to give them the territories recognitions they rightfully deserve. Through my research, I learned that the 11 Indigenous nations are Waban-Aki, Anishinaabe, Atikamekw Nehirowisiwok, Eeyou, Huron-Wendat, Innu, Inuit, Wolastoqiyik, Mi’gmaq, Kanien’kehá:ka and Naskapi, and that the city of Montreal is located on Kanien’kehá:ka territory. 

I also learned a lot about Indigenous culture during the exhibition itself, which we visited on November 17th. I found really interesting the way Indigenous people educate their children and include the younger generation in important tasks. Indeed, the guide explained to us that Indigenous communities have a really practical way of teaching. If a child decides he wants to learn how to hunt for instance, he will ask himself to one of the older men to teach him. This way, the child not only has the freedom of choosing whether or not he wants to learn certain things, but he can also decide from whom he wants to learn, which I think is a wonderful way of educating children. When the guide explained this, he also showed us a tiny arrow bow, which is used to teach younger children how to hunt. I found the way Indigenous people really make efforts to include their children in their community and how they take pleasure in passing down their traditions from generation to generation really beautiful and inspiring.

Waban-aki: People from Where the Sun Rises (2006) 11/9/2022 Evelyn Lee

This film reminded me of the aborigines in Taiwan in some ways. I have been to different Taiwanese aboriginal tribes several times and have had the privilege of participating in their important rituals. The pictures of Taiwan aborigines are usually very bright and highly saturated. And Most Taiwanese aborigines are matriarchal societies, which women have a more important position in the tribe.

The introduction, conversations, and the people’s expressions in this film were so calm, even when they tried to lash out their anger or sadness, they were still calm(plus helplessness) too. The overall shot in this film, whether in black and white or in color, was very comfortable. The best part was probably the tribal legends/past life stories in the middle of the film. Couple sneaking out, watching full moon seven times then getting married sounded very cute and simple. What’s really touched me was that those old women talked about how they lost their rights and places in Abenaki’s society once they got married, and how they regretted getting married after having divorce. It must be unbearable and difficult to fall in the situation with rights being deprived unfairly and with the feeling of homeless. In contrast - which is the most ironic - women who married Indian men would be accepted into the society. Another thing that caught my attention was that they said “We are people. Not numbers.” It made me thinking: were Abenaki tribe/people making these decisions to protect the group or to divide the people in disguise?
