Comment - Both Jordan Hall and I are familiar with the concept of hyperobject but in this part of the conversation, Jordan introduced the idea to Micheal for the first time - This illustrates to me that truism that our perspectival knowledge of reality is unique - Our individual meaningverses and lebenswelt are uniquely located and situated in life - And whenever a multi meaningverse events, the ensuing conversation is collectively - consciousness expanding - expanding the - semantic fingerprint and - symmathesetic fingerprint - of all conversants

In Kalifornien führten "atmospheric rivers" - wie schon mehrfach 2023 - zu schweren Überflutungen mit mehreren Todesopfern. Der Guardian berichtet über die Erforschung dieser Stürme, deren Intensität durch die globale Erhitzung schon um ca. 10% zugenommen hat. Für die Zukunft werden nicht nur intensivere, sondern auch ganz neue Klassen dieser Ereignisse erwartet. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/feb/11/atmospheric-river-pacific-storms-climate-crisis

Town Hall and Metroum Descriptions

The same distance of Netherfield from Longbourn in Pride and Prejudice but for some reason Uppercross feels much further from Kellynch Hall.

Hall feels like the missionaries jumped into everything too soon, or bit off more than they could ever chew

Hall thinks some of the missionaries are getting discouraged at the mission

according to Hall, natives see traders as good and missionaries as bad unless the missionaries will provide for them

Hall does not think much of them

according to Hall, most male Ojibwe see labor as a female or slave task

also not great at Fond du Lac according to Hall

Mrs. Hall gave birth in January and is still "feeble"

Mills says Hall is impressed by the success of missions

Hall claims to have "given" himself "to the heathen"

Hall assumes his sister is happy because she has family now

Hall and Sproat are working together

Hall tells the Board that if they are broke enough to be embarrassed, to not send more help

It is ironic that Hall mentions this since all the missionaries have been asking for female help

Hall apologizes to Greene for sending Sproat to look for help because the Board is so broke

Greene wants Hall to write more about the affairs of the Mission

Hall wants Sproat to get married

Hall's opinion is that he is wasting his own time doing manual labor and not preaching

Hall tried to convince Town to stay so that Hall's workload wasn't crazy, but no dice

Hall also informs Greene about the situation at Red Cedar Lake (Boutwell said it was Sandy Lake?) but says that it seems to have calmed down

Hall sent a manuscript to the Board

Hall says that Greene can send goods to the Mission through the American Fur Company

Hall again leaves it up to the Board and Greene to decide if they are doing good enough work to stay at the Mission

Hall states that he views his efforts towards mixed race individuals the same as toward the Natives - heathens needing conversion

Hall finds the process of conversion tiresome because of the depravity of the Natives

Hall mentions the influence of Whites, especially traders, on the Natives and mentions they should be pious and "exert a religious influence"

This author has Hall's daughter

Hall and La Pointe have not heard from Greene or the Board since September 1841

Most of the things Hall asks for are for other families around La Pointe

Hall wants to spread word about the intelligence of the Natives

Hall wants to spend the whole winter in the NE states with his family at the expense of the Board

Hall's daughter is being completely supported by Boutwell

Hall wants for the Board to give La Pointe $1000 for the year to come (1841)

Hall requests more female help at La Pointe

mrs. hall is worn down from being sick all the time

While Hall isn't asking to be done, he is asking for a break

Hall thinks all current missionaries should stay in the field, yet he almost seems to imply that no new individuals should join them? But he just asked for manual labor help

unlike the other missionaries, Hall doesn't want to quit (or is it reverse psychology??)

Hall is asking for money so that he can focus his energy where he feels it actually belongs

Hall is speaking for all missionaries when he says that they are almost out of energy to continue

Hall is also finding himself spending (in his opinion) too much time on manual labor and not enough time preaching

Hall needs more money to keep La Pointe afloat

Articles of Agreement between Hall and Ely about what each other do

Hall expressed to Ely that he was in need of another woman at La Pointe because his wife was continually ill and he was doing all the housework

Hall almost seems upset that he has to be at home caring for his children instead of travelling and christianizing the Natives

there are four children at La Pointe in 1836, all of whom are considered babies that need constant care

Hall thinks that they are being neglected both in terms of education and actual care

the women are sick a lot and cannot care for the babies as well as mr. Hall thinks they should be

Hall describes the Natives as having unstable character

Hall is suggesting sending missionaries back to Boston for a few months to have them talk to the committee and obtain new people for labor

he also wants to keep the newly built houses in the hands of the committee and lend them to the Natives

Hall believes that Catholicism is a bigger threat to the success of the missions than "heathenism"

the tone of Hall's response suggests that he frustrated at the Mission and at Greene

Hall advises Greene not to let the Catholics upset him

In response to Greene stating that abandoning the mission would be the next option, Hall says that it is their duty to do what they can

Sproat was supposed to go with Ely to Fond du Lac, but the sickness of Mrs. Hall made him stay at La Pointe to help Ms. Cooke with the school

Hall essentially asks his sisters to come help at La Pointe

because his wife is often sick, Mr. Hall has to do some housework, which takes away from the importance of missionary work

items that Mr. Hall requests from Mr. Greene

Mrs. Hall is ill and still recovering, after over a month of being sick

Hall writes to Greene to tell him what the Mission needs: books, medicine, clothing, shoes

Mr. Hall, Mr. Ayer, Mrs. Hall, and Mrs. Campbell (interpreter) traveled to La Pointe on Lake Superior

Same Hall as before with childbirth complications?

Mrs. Hall was bed-ridden after a birth complication of an "imposthumated breast". She had a "severe fit of sickness" because of it, but returned to comfortable health, although not strength.

Assessment and implementation of protective measures for long commutes particularly those linked to long hours of work to avoid safety risks

Adoption of mechanisms like the "Fair Share Agreement" in B.C. or similar to get funds for improving infrastructure in municipalities and regions.

Improve the need of affordable housing in host, hub and source communities

Assess the prevalence and incidence of mental health issues and addictions and establish sufficient services for caring and prevention. This phenomena affect workers, their families and communities.

Improve medical care infrastructure and inter-provincial agreements to be able to cover LC-LD workers and their families in source, host and hub communities in a timely manner. the improvement of such services should be flexible enough to adapt to the ups and downs of the predominant industries.

Improve environmental assessments in the planning stages of industrial and housing developments in source, host and hub communities

Establishment of bodies and paths for community participation in the development of new industrial activities and the assessments of their needs imposed by the labour market linked to the industry and its ups and downs.

Anticipation through planning of community needs due to new developments and ups and downs of predominant industries for example mining.

Improve infrastructure in the host and hub communities according to the needs imposing by industrial developments

Fort Simpson was originally established by the Hudson’s Bay Company at a location on the north shore of the Nass River estuary. In the summer of 1834, the Hudson’s Bay Company moved its fort to a site on the Tsimshian peninsula at McLoughlin Bay, which is now called Port Simpson, British Columbia (Patterson 1994). In 1858 and 1894, Roman Catholic missionaries reached Fort Simpson and permanently resided there. The Roman Catholic Mission provided many resources for the community, such as St. Margaret’s Hospital built in 1916 and a school in St. Margaret’s Hall built in 1917. St. Margaret’s Hall was replaced by the Federal Day School in 1974 and was run by the Federal Government. Fort Simpson is still inhabited today and is a quite popular tourist destination. It is the only village in the Northwest Territories with a population of approximately 1,250. Some people of Fort Simpson still identify as Dene. Fort Simpson is accessible via airplane or highway. The Liard Trail Highway leads to Fort Simpson from British Columbia and the Mackenzie Highway reaches Fort Simpson from Alberta. Since both of these highways pass through expanses of nature, it is possible to see black bear, moose, woodland caribou, lynx, wolves, and bison alongside the highways (Fort Simpson Chamber of Commerce n.d.).

Do masons generally live by a righteous code?

You can respect and listen to a man of higher social ranking than you (or your boss, etc.), but no man is worth worshipping. Worship is only for God.

Kings, emperors, slave owners, etc.

The only acceptable form of fear is fear of God, because that is called "having faith"

He's making the point that fear is the true enemy. You become a slave to fear.

God will bring the black people vengeance, they must patiently wait and have faith

A lack of education does not prevent you from rightfully questioning the conditions of your life.

The biblical spirit of ancient Ethiopia is metaphorically affecting the change in the lives of slaves? Is it their faith that is "stretching forth her hand"?

The white man would never face a black man one-on-one, but will only face a black man with the support of others. Maybe a lone white man is afraid that the hatred and anger he has caused the black man would be too powerful for him to face alone?

He keeps tying his preachings back to masonry

Even in the Bible there are examples of white people treating black people like humans

Empathy is a powerful thing...

The human race is dependent on one another as a whole & we can exist completely alone.

Life is full of ups and downs

He's very focused on the idea of empathy and feeling what others feel.

"That cannot change their skin" really struck me here. Hall is a powerful writer.

It seems like it is going to be confined to color though, if he is addressing only black men.

"an African American noted as an abolitionist, for his leadership in the free black community in Boston, and as the founder of Prince Hall Freemasonry. He lobbied for education rights for black children and was active in the back-to-Africa movement." --Wikipedia
