"After Popular Information's report, the reclassification of the book became national and international news, receiving coverage from MSNBC, The Austin-American Statesman, The San Antonio Current, The Texarkana Gazette, The Chicago Sun-Times, The Guardian, The Independent, and others. Two days after Popular Information's report, a coalition, including PEN America, the Writers Guild, and Penguin Random House, wrote a letter to the Montgomery County Commission demanding they reverse the decision. "On Tuesday, the Montgomery County Commission 'issued a stay' against all decisions made by the citizens' reconsideration committee since October 1, and also put all future decisions of the committee on hold. That means the book will be placed back in the non-fiction section of the county’s public libraries. In addition, the Commission created a group "to review and revise library policy,' including the role and composition of the citizens' reconsideration committee."<a href="https://popular.info/p/update-texas-library-committee-suspended" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://popular.info/p/update-texas-library-committee-suspended</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Colonization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Colonization</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Censorship</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TruthAndReconciliation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TruthAndReconciliation</a> vs <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LiesAndDenial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LiesAndDenial</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WampanoagTribe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WampanoagTribe</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WampanoagNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WampanoagNation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TexasFreedomToReadProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TexasFreedomToReadProject</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TwoMomsAndSomeBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TwoMomsAndSomeBooks</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristianRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChristianRight</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MontgomeryCountyTexas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MontgomeryCountyTexas</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wampanog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wampanog</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChildrensBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChildrensBooks</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Librarians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Librarians</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativeAmericans</a>

That treaty promised mutual aid in the case of war and exclusive trade — contrary to the Peace Treaty sometimes taught."Like other Native Americans, the Herring Pond Tribe sees <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Thanksgiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Thanksgiving</a> as a day of mourning. Still, members retain the tradition of gathering with families and friends around a turkey."Upon the Pilgrims’ arrival, it was estimated that 69 Wampanoag settlements, connected through language and at times political systems, ran along the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EastCoast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EastCoast</a> from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Weymouth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Weymouth</a> to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CapeCod" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CapeCod</a> and the Islands, and south to Bristol and Warren, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RhodeIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RhodeIsland</a> according to Brad Lopes, director of Wampanoag and Indigenous Interpretation and Training at the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PlimothPatuxetMuseums" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlimothPatuxetMuseums</a> and a member of the Aquinnah Tribe."Today, about 5,000 Wampanoag people live in New England, Lopes said."Full article: <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/herring-pond-tribe-of-plymouth-pushes-for-federal-recognition/ar-AA1knD3f" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/herring-pond-tribe-of-plymouth-pushes-for-federal-recognition/ar-AA1knD3f</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DayOfMourning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DayOfMourning</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousNews</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalPreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CulturalPreservation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CulturalGenocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NationalDayofMourning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NationalDayofMourning</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateColonialism</a>
