Four or five years ago, Sidney Hill’s young son came to him with a question that Mr. Hill didn’t know how to answer. The boy had learned that day about the millions of acres of land that his people, the Onondaga, had once called home, and the way that their homeland had been taken parcel by parcel by the State of New York, until all that was left was 11 square miles south of...

By Isaac White. I’ve been considering adding a new element to our weekly meetings. It’s not something that will ultimately lead us down a path to the obliteration of Entertainment Binge. Unless I finally get that call to play quarterback for the 49ers. I think that’s imminent, by the way. Or it better be; after all, I’ve sent dozens of unsolicited videos to the Niners of me throwing Nerf footballs through monster truck tires 10 feet away to highlight my arm talent. That’s a football industry term, by the way. It means I’m awesome. Clearly, I...
