/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

When I went to Mesa Verde at a kid, the story that was told was of the people who found (and rescued) the ruins. They talked about the great mystery of where the "Anasazi" went (that term isn't used anymore).
When I took my son a year ago, the whole park had changed the story completely. No more was there a story of Western Discovery, but of a people who are still around (the Puebloans). The rangers were all Puebloans and told stories they were taught as children. They told us an oral story of their ancestors, who lived in a cave dwelling, that faced exactly north, and had 7 Kivas. That exact dwelling is known in Mesa Verde. Spanish monks had recorded the story before the "rediscovery", and only recently was such stories/evidence taken seriously. There was no mystery.
The experience visiting 30ish years apart was astonishing. I was heartened at the change. The large museum is being rebuilt to enhance that narrative.
It might be a small bit of justice, but at least it's something.
