Being in New England are we had and have several tribes that were and are around prior to our arrival here. I’m always amazed how the lived around here. Brutal winters, occasional blizzards and then all that humidity. I’m sure they didn’t bitch about it like we do, they were a tough people. Now in my state they have two or three very nice nice casinos to keep them out of the weather

Despite all that has been done to roust them from our state North Carolina has the largest population of Indians east of the Mississippi.

Too bad the Cherokee won't allow federal recognition for anyone else. I'd be willing to bet if more tribes got federal recognition it would draw more attention to the troubles faced by Indians. Alcoholism, diabetes, heart health, crippling poverty etc. In this day and age, in this political climate....you'd assume they'd be doing everything they could to draw attention to these troubles.

'Mindhunter' - John Douglas

This is about the start of the BAU and using psychology to nab serial killers. It's a cool book, very neat to hear about the quirks of serial killers and how those came to be, it's like a book filled with super villain origin stories. And yes the Netflix show of the same name is based off it.

John Douglas really deserves more recognition than what he gets, I mean aside from the book that he wrote in my list he also features in the one about the Zodiac, The Blooding (which was a case that happened in the UK and they still called him in) and the green river murders (which almost killed him)

if it wasn't him then someone else would have come along and done it but you can't overlook what he did.

and for the record Mindhunter is fucking brilliant, the way they portray the killers is 9 times out of 10 absolutely spot on
