You're absolutely right. I had the problems of reservation life on my mind because I'd recently seen a Twitter thread by a woman who grew up on a reservation talking about the difficulties of reservation life, but it really is an inaccurate and misleading shorthand. In the things I've read by people who were involved in AIM, they talked about going to the reservation as a healing experience after their experiences in mainstream American culture.

Thanks for being willing to talk about this. I appreciate you.

Thanks for calling me on it - I'm trying to get better about it, but I still don't always think everything I say all the way through. :)
