In this season 3 kickoff episode we welcome back Aaron with an investigation into some of our past discussions.Since his absence in the past four months we have had a chance to review past episode to find opportunities to dive deeper into unresolved matters. Specifically we reintroduce the idea that criticism in Indian Country should not stray into dogmatism. This launches us into further discussions into whether tribal understanding can hold multiple truths. An interesting divergence is made into a discussion on similarities that may be found in the non-overlapping magisteria view described by Steven Jay Gould in 1997.
The episode continues by touching in the apparent uniformity characteristics of tribal people. The conversation centers on the idea of a common belief in light of religious and other assimilative forces working to erode tradition and norms. The discussion remains unfinished as we tackle the notion that rituals ought to evolve The questions remains as to why some disappear while others change form.
