A Closer Look at the Mass Flag & Seal
April 30, 2024 - One of the articles to be voted on at the May 13th Wayland Town Meeting, is a resolution in support of changing the state flag & seal of Massachusetts. Indigenous leaders have been calling for this change for more than 50 years. Join Faries Gray and David Detmold to learn about the violent history and impact of our state symbols, and about the movement to create symbols that better express the ideals of the Commonwealth.
Co-sponsored by the Wayland Free Public Library and the Wayland Human Rights, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee
Faries Gray is the Sagamore (War Chief) of the Massachusett Tribe at Ponkapoag, as well as one of the Massachusett tribal historians. For the last 20 years, Faries has worked with multiple cities, towns, schools, colleges, and universities to educate them about the Massachusett Tribe during the early years of colonization. Presently Faries is working with all the historic tribes within the Commonwealth to lobby for schools and our representatives to ban the use of Indigenous mascots in all public schools in the Commonwealth. Faries works part time for the NITHPO office of the MedicineMan for the Narragansett Tribe. This work includes identifying ceremonial landscapes in the effort to prevent these landscapes from being developed.
David Detmold is the coordinator of changethemassflag.com. He has worked with volunteers in 90 cities and towns to bring resolutions of support for changing the flag and seal of Massachusetts to town meetings and city councils, from the Berkshires to Cape Cod. As of March, 2024, 79 Massachusetts cities and towns have taken formal votes in support of that change. David is the founding editor of the independent weekly newspaper, the Montague Reporter, and served for 20 years as an elected town meeting member in Montague.

    An excellent book eloquently describing the many insurmountable problems confronting humanity as it continues to destroy the Biosphere. Unfortunately, he veers into the usual Leftist counter-factuals re: Donald Trump’s actual ability to govern a country, which was actually much better than the mess the clearly demented Joe Biden has created. Clearly, 1,000,000 new humans every 4.5 days, fished-out, plasticized oceans, deforestation and species loss of insects, birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, freshwater depletion, non-renewable resource depletion, continued reliance on transcontinental and trans-oceanic diesel transport by an over-consuming society, billions of cruelly-treated, sentient animals slaughtered yearly, moral decay, bio-engineering of nearly all life-forms with increased susceptibility to blight and devastation, AI’s most certain usage in military conflict as resources become scarce, and human nature itself, will spell our doom. The Seneca Effect will hold true.

    I bought book based on these you tube reviews. Novel is as dead as the author thinks Ireland is dead today. Here in Los Angeles area I went to catholic as a Mexican American but the teach were all from Ireland. We were very comfortable type of students, lots Irish and Mexican heritage. The Mexican heritage kids did not put up with shy nun, strict sister act. Of course this was in 60’s. Novel is badly written and boring. I’ve read plenty. After college my commute was 3 hours per day on rapid trans. I did lots short stories , euro novels, roddy Doyle stuff.? My experience with you tube reviews coming my way from UK, Australia, US is bad. With skippy Dies I’m not sure if I should throw it out now ( I’m on p 69) or another 10. I’ve got three musketeers to read. All these Dostoevsky stuff. I dont need to read book to learn Ireland is in the toilet. I’ve known that last 20 years. I live here in California. Lots of Irish all over.

    • @waylandlibrary
      @waylandlibrary 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hmmm, there's no really easy way that I can think of. The simplest thing would be to just use holes in Tinkercad to 'shave a bit off the top' of certain areas. Tedious, and not really feasible if the SVG is detailed, but I can't think of another way. You could also just use acrylic paint or colored sharpies.

Our list is 20 factors, rank ordered by imminence/magnitude. There is great overlap, but your insights and research are very illuminating for us. As you have pointed out there is no political will/ societal pressure to address these basic and obvious issues. Than you for getting this published.

    We find extremely odd walls in areas that were never used for agriculture at all. In one small area there are two rectangular enclosures created by massive rows with defining orientation all to magnetic north, south, east and west. They utilize various methods of building, are too low and heaped to act as wildlife containment, and have no entrances that would have allowed entrance for farming equipment and livestock. Is it possible that many of these stone rows be of a much older nature?
