Now. With food steps since his, with the Cost Effective specialty chemicals, for vaccines etc. Let me ask you a lifecycle question. If you are running out of food and you can create a bug or youre running out of fresh water and you create a bug that can create more fresh water or youre out of energy and can make more energy there is a theme. More, more. The alternate approach it seems to me would be to do less. Have fewer babies eat less, buy less, more gently on the earth. It strikes me like you are a more guy. I can only control how many people have babies in my own environment. [laughter] i dont know how to do that globally. We have a tremendous challenge with all the people we keep adding to the planet. Not too long, we could be 10 billion people. Its not sustainable with the approaches we are using in the consumption of everything. Moore is the problem. We could have less babies, but unless we are going to roll back populations, which i dont think anybody is advocating, at least n
The canadian side . I come from a province 20 seconds. We would the it would be raised in minnesota and processed in iowa. So i think people want to know where their food comes from. Theres got to be a way to deal with that reality and not we won three case. Were going to win a fourth. Wed rather negotiate than retaliate would be our view. What do you think . It will be healthy and will dont be healthy between the United States and canada. Well see how the court case plays out not with standing those here. I want to thank all of our panelists for being here. Its been an enlightning conversation here at the table. Its been good to have you in the audience with us tonight. Continue to at least continue the dialogue and i suppose as long as everybodys talking maybe not the two guards at the top but as long as the rest of us keep talking about the issue theres always a way to work our way through it. So thank yall for being here. Thank you again here in the audience. And well see you next
You from time to time so i can see which slide we are on. I am at the National Museum of the American Indian. One of the things that interest us greatly is the persistence of stereotypes. Our visitors dont come as blank slates, they come with a preconceived set of ideas, not uninformed but misinformed. As you can see, just a couple of years ago at the vatican. This is a man there at the vatican celebrating as she understands native american culture. This is one of those examples where we can hardly alter at fault. She does not know any better because this is what she has been taught. This entire notion of Cultural Appropriation and taking from native people of their authority to define who they are emerged at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. This is part of the imagery that laid the groundwork for what would later become this business of using indians as mascots. Really, abusing our history in more significant ways. This is the end of the trail them in, a famous o
And so, that is lie. The other lie is that one star deets himself was an indian. He was convicted of fraud for pretending to be an indian because he was trying to dodge the draft. Yet, the team maintains on its website that is the origin of the name. Similarly, this team has an origin myth. They say it was a fellow named henry who was a baseball player for the team. They say they named their team and order to honor him. If you really begin to dig into that history, what we find is henry was treated incredibly badly by the fans. Second, he was not that good. He was not the kind of guy you would name your team for. He was not bad, but he was not that good. Third, he was not a very nice guy. All of this sort of suggests that they made that up. This is part of what goes on when dealing with indians and in the public discourse. Things get made up and indians become very malleable and they are formed in order to fill whatever particular role the institution or entity or state or country need
Sure people understand basic propositions. Even bart simpson gets it. Now i would like to get to this idea of American Mythology and the imaginary indian. We are deeply in the american dna. Every major american myth, major american origin story has to account for the indians in sunlight. Here we see columbus arriving in the new world looking remarkably fresh. But hiding in the righthand corner are the indians who were there when columbus arrived. We want to get into this business of the Columbian Exchange. Indians have not only then he raised from American History they have any raised from World History not only have the indians then he raced erased from American History, they have been erased from World History. Massive amounts of technology, wealth, labor, food left in the americas for europe and asia. Meanwhile, they were sending back to the new world many things of their own. A lot of animals, different plants. Of course, disease. Disease was the most devastating factor. It was the
