This could only be more Canadian if it was taken at a Tim Horton's drive through.

The set of human remains and other artifacts had been cataloged in the collection at Yale University’s Peabody Museum for decades.
So, why did it take so long for those items to be linked to and offered back to Wabanaki tribes in Maine?

Remains, artifacts could soon be repatriated to Wabanaki tribes in Maine. It hasn’t always been that easy.
A 1990 federal law requires museums and cultural institutions to inventory remains or items thought to be funerary. But that process is often drawn out and doesn't always run smoothly.

I was deeply disappointed by the lack of nature/science/climate/enviro on many major end-of-year book lists—so I decided to make my own!

In the field of conservation I feel like choosing to still care is one of the most challenging and yet most important parts of our job.
I’d argue that some of our greatest achievements in humanity have been made by people who care a great deal about the things they pursue and that’s not driven by logic or pragmatism is driven by emotions in passion in curiosity the traits that make us human and make life worth living. 3/

I think the thing I am most grateful for when it comes to my math education is learning to code. I really struggled with math growing up ( I still remember my 4th grade math teacher berating me for struggling with long division) and coding opened up a whole world to me

So with the new influx of folks from 🐦 I guess it might be a good time to (re) introduce myself.
Hi I’m Nina and I’m and master’s student at UMO focusing on the spatial ecology of Moose affected by winter-tick on Penobscot nation lands in Maine.

An Indigenous tribe in Los Angeles recently got 12 acres of their land back! Native orgs made the largest LA land purchase for the Tongva Gabrielino Shohone Nation, including Anawakalmekak, a Native Mexica school that teaches Nahuatl to the Mexican diaspora. This is inter-Indigenous solidarity

That being said I’m pretty sure I shotgunned a semester’s worth of learning into 5 days and my brain 🧠 hurts.
Had the absolute pleasure to attend an intro to occupancy modeling workshop this week with Dr. Darryl Mackenzie. It was great! Not only did we go over single and multi season models but I think this is the first time I got formal instruction on linear models and it was incredibly helpful.
