DESCENT ≈ An Atlas of Relation
Acknowledgements & Gratitude
This ongoing project has been supported and greatly informed by the generous conversation offered through email exchange, phone or video calls, and in-person talks with friends and colleagues throughout the U.S. and around the globe. I am grateful to those I have known and collaborated with over the years, as well as relationships formed more recently. I am especially thankful to citizens of Indigenous nations who have shared knowledge related to their lands.
