he language used through the text seems friendly and warm. Through this text were are able to see that there is recognition that both sides were I the wrong and that not once side acted less violently than the other. It also shows understanding to the opposing side and that they do not want to stay enemies but rather they hope to reconcile and make peace

This treaty seems to be equally beneficial for both sides, not only in terms of aid and provisions but in promoting general peace. It is one thing to use the allure of presents and provisions to ensure compliance, though number 7 for example actually suggests the fostering of genuine goodwill between the people

A promise of provisions is certainly an enticement to signing and agreeing to these terms

Interesting, in this regard the previous treaty only went as far as discussion Wabanaki obligations to diplomatically enforce peace- and while this does reiterate that it showcases that that is to be expected reciprocally via Government aid and assistance

The term submission suggests a surrender by the Wabanaki, however by renewing the previous treaty I agree with Thomas in his assessment of this being a compromise by the British as well, as the terms of said treaty were not fully restrictive and still prove to be of some benefit to the Wabanaki

Language differences certainly pose a difficulty in securing a treaty, though this demonstrates a genuine want for clear communication and understanding

While not what the Penobscot asked for, by offering the fort and garrison as trading posts this is still a concession on behalf of the British

This to me suggests that the Penobscot's value the stability of a treaty and the promises to uphold it- by acknowledging that previous treaties have been broken due to hidden ill intentions this demonstrates that they .take the premise of a new treaty very seriously and do not wish for it to be an empty promise

This to me still reinforces my interpretation (of the second treaty at least) that the genuine motive was for peace- as this speaks to a reciprocal benefit

This suggests a genuine want for peace- as though there are sensitive aspects left unaccounted for the Penobscot's insist that if they could solve them themselves they would

This is an example of language/cultural challenges, as well as the issue of "he said she said" I have previously mentioned

Again we see a focus on returning hostages and captives to their rightful home, as these hostages are most definitely a talking point in these sort of treaties where an outstanding hostage can mean the difference between peace and war.

The use of captives in situations like this are of a major issue as we know in history. Even now with the most recent Israeli and Pakistani conflict, the desire for nations not directly involved in the conflict to have captives returned is a major talking point. As everyone knows that the death of even just a few of the hostages could spark hostility and bring further into war, and with an English Captive we know that there is a risk no matter how small of the English getting involved if the captive is not returned.

I agree with what others have said about the wording here leaning more towards diplomatic rather than militaristic. The Penobscot are not obliged to fight for/alongside the British but are agreeing to quell hostility via dialogue

All members of the Wabanaki Confederacy

What I see here is a level of Positive Language that focuses around the return of all captives and prisoners to be returned without ransom or payment. Now it is important for any government to recognize that the return of civilians and prisoners of war back to their homes, and as a negotiation stance it makes perfect sense as likely both sides of the conflict have captives, and the returning of them to the homes they belong to is something both sides would respectively want.

John Gyles appears again in this historical narrative. He is now an active agent of the British, after his captivity, and has used his knowledge of the Abenaki language to work as an interpretor.

Potentially to the detriment of the Wabanaki given his documented activities in the lead-up to this war (Maine Documents).

While this might be secondary to our main topic, King George I (r. 1714-1727) is the first of the Hanoverian Kings of Britain.

Given that the Hanoverians are now ruling, Britain will experience a major shift in its policies: the nation will be consistently Protestant (not the case with the Stuart dynasty), parliament will take on a more central role, and they will become far more focused on Europe than their colonies. This will have an impact on their settlers in these colonies and will inform their policies with Indigenous nations of Turtle Island.

Sauguaaram (Loron Arexus), François Xavier, and Meganumbe are the legitimate delegates of the Wabanaki Confederacy. Their aliases appear to be derived from Latin which suggests to me that their lingua franca is likely French and not English.

The war in question is known as Dummer's War (or Father Rale's War) and was sparked by the dispute raised by the Wabanaki in their letter dated 28 July 1721 and addressed to the Governor of Boston, Samuel Shute.

an assertion of the belief of catholic conversion= french subjects

By saying "our savages" it shoes that Le Loutre believed that the french people were responsible for the Mi'kmaq people

One way to interpret this as the Indigenous not being given the chance to explain themselves or their side of the issue. This sort of one-sided decision making is evident in texts where the Indigenous are often treated worse in one way or another.

Especially seeing as in these times having to travel for a few days only to not be heard would definitely be frustrating.

Mr. Le Loutre appears to be stationed at the French Fort Beausejour which is situated directly across the isthmus from Fort Lawrence (to whom he is writing).

Mr. Le Loutre, if not the French as a whole, recognises the sovereignty of the Mi'kmaq (presumably the Wabanaki Confederacy and their allies as well) and that their lands both used to cover considerably more territory and require more territory than what they are asking for.

It appears that the British will consider any Acadians who take up arms against them as criminals (i.e. treason) rather than soldiers in an armed conflict.

The reference to an Oath of Allegiance to the British monarch suggests that the Acadians had at one point of time sworn an oath of fealty, unlike the Indigenous actors in this struggle.

This sentence seems to confirm my suspicions that it is presently controlled by the British since Mr. Hussey is described as its present commander according to Mr. Le Loutre.

Mr. Le Loutre is here referring to British King George II (r. 1727-1760) and French King Louis XV (r. 1715-1774). Both succeeded to their respective thrones after the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht (1713) and inherited the status quo (or successive contestations) of Mi'kma'ki/Acadie/Nova Scotia established by this treaty.

I find this interesting given the fact that one justification for colonialism by Europeans is God and religion, I am in another class where we read a document by John Cotton who likened expansion to God's promise to David. By introducing religion to Indigenous people the Europeans essentially gave them tools to witness the hypocrisy of the Europeans (beyond of course the obvious factors, this is just an interesting irony)

Again as brought on by my earlier point. Alcohol is an issue that the Natives have to deal with, and seems to be used to try and loosen lips and get the Indigenous into situations they as a community would desire not to.

One of the biggest problems we have with trade is the trade of Alcohol to the Native People. Alcohol is not only a dangerous substance, but it also used to inhibit the natives thinking and try to get them into bad situations.

Alcohol has always been a problem for people, and the introduction of such alcohol to the Indigenous has caused consequences for their people.

As mentioned in the preface to this document, the letter is addressed to the British Governor at Boston, Samuel Shute.

This part of the reading helps us understand that even though the indigenous people were letting the europeans settle on their land doesn't mean that they were naive or happy about what was happening, rather they were very much well aware and against the situation

Interesting, unlike the Abenaki the Mi'kmaq appear to be acting independently nor do they appeal to the French for help.

Highlights the relationship between the French and the Abenaki well, and suggests they have allied to fight the English in the past

M. Vaudreuil- governor of New France- who in this period was in the midst of attempting to reconcile disputes between Indigenous groups, while also using France’s Indigenous allies to fight against the British. In the 1690s, as the author describes as 23 years prior, this would have been the period of great dispute and warfare between Indigenous groups in other parts of the Great Lakes. This demonstrates the allyship of the Abenaki to the French Crown in the face of British expansion and their faith and reliance on the French to secure territorial disputes in a period of general unsettlement.

The Mi'kmaw leaders are referring to the partition of Mi'kma'ki under the Treaty of Utrecht (1713) by the British and French Crowns.

They are also asserting their opposition to this partition and the fact that the Mi'kmaq were not involved in these negotiations.

The Mi'kmaw leaders are beginning to use similar rhetoric as the Europeans in their land claims. By appealing to a God-given right, in Catholic terminology, they are actively contesting the European narrative using the coloniser's own internal logic.

This statement also appeals to a primordial event which the colonisers cannot adequately contest if they accept either providence or occassionalism as philosophical/theological concepts.

Kjipuktuk is the Mi'kmaw name for the newly christened settlement of Halifax. This British fort was established on the Mi'kmaw land known as Sɨpekne'katik.

The governor the letter is addressed to is named Edward Cornwallis (b. 1712-1776) and he held this position from 1749-1752.

Thank you. Steve, for raising the alarm on this catastrophe! One minor comment. It should be QC'ed, not QA'ed. Quality control is done first. Quality Assurance (QA) comes after QC. QA is basically checking the calculations and the test results in the batch records. I worked in QC and QA for big pharma for decades. I tried to warn people in early 2021 that there's no way the quality control testing could be done at warp speed. Nobody listened to me despite my decades of experience in big pharma!

"warp speed" sounds fancy, plus "its an emergency, we have no time"...

it really was just an intelligence test, a global-scale exploit of trust in authorities. (and lets be honest, stupid people deserve to die.)

problem is, they (elites, military, industry) seem to go for actual forced vaccinations, which would be an escalation from psychological warfare to actual warfare against the 95% "useless eaters".

personally, i would prefer if they would globally legalize serial murder and assault rifles, then "we the people" would solve the overpopulation. (because: serial murder is the only alternative to mass murder.) but they are scared that we would also kill the wrong people (their servants because they are evil or stupid). (anyone crying about depopulation should suggest better solutions. denying overpopulation is just another failed intelligence test.)

Adler/Van Doren use the statement of unity of a work as an example of testing one's understanding of a work and its contents.

(Again, did this exist in the 1940 edition?)

Who do McDaniel and Donnelly 1996 cite in their work as predecessors of their idea as certainly it existed?

I believe Rodolfo Gonzales uses this powerful imagery of a Native American back bloodied from the whips of imperialist masters to show how strong and unbreakable his people are. They stand free today after having endured centuries of abuse and mistreatment.

That if the ("paperwork") Constitution doesn't specify it the power to be delegated by the Federal Govt, that power belongs to the state and/or the people. This comes in handy when there are concurrent powers(powers shared between the state and federal govt, the tenth amendment with come into play to divide the specifics.Limiting the powers of the Fed Govt.

Allosso is using "both sides" in a broadly journalistic fashion the way it had traditionally meant in the mid to late 21st century until Donald J. Trump's overtly racist comment on Aug. 15, 2017 "you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides." following the Charlottesville, VA protests.

Perhaps it might be useful if people quit using the "both sides" as if there were only two perspectives on an issue (for or against), when in reality there is often a spectrum of thoughts and feelings, not all mutually exclusive, about issues?

Every element receives its value based on the network of links and connections it has with other elements. This is just as true for ideas on index cards in a zettelkasten as it is for people within a society.

idea/index card:zettelkasten :: person:society

What other elements in complex systems is this analogy true for? Is it a truism for all elements in complex systems? What other examples can we come up with?

Continuing on the analogy between addresses for zettels/index cards and for people, the differing contexts for cards and ideas is similar to the multiple different publics in which people operate (home, work, school, church, etc.)

Having these multiple publics creates a variety of cross links within various networks for people which makes their internal knowledge and relationships more valuable.

As societies grow the number of potential interconnections grows as well. Compounding things the society doesn't grow as a homogeneous whole but smaller sub-groups appear creating new and different publics for each member of the society. This is sure to create a much larger and much more complex system. Perhaps it's part of the beneficial piece of the human limit of memory of inter-personal connections (the Dunbar number) means that instead of spending time linearly with those physically closest to us, we travel further out into other spheres and by doing so, we dramatically increase the complexity of our societies.

Does this level of complexity change for oral societies in pre-agrarian contexts?

What would this look like mathematically and combinatorially? How does this effect the size and complexity of the system?

How can we connect this to Stuart Kauffman's ideas on complexity? (Picking up a single thread creates a network by itself...)
