For people with means, the Wampanoag tribes still exist and do accept donations. We can't undo what was done but you can support those who were harmed by the coming of the colonists.

Plumber confirmed that the fuses blowing yesterday was due to the water heater and we need a new water heater. I did find the fuse for the water heater itself so we're good heating wise
(last night we had no light or heating in half the flat, which is less fun).
Wheee
Please buy my books?
