“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Santayana These historical talks are not intentionally provocative, but they will be honest, open and unfiltered. I am an historian by background and transparently human-rights oriented. What I hope to achieve during these talks is present historically consistent subjects and encourage thought and conversation. They will be developed around topics principally relevant to the Americas. Generally I will be home in Banff, but may be elsewhere. I hope to walk in a beautiful setting while conversing. These talks require significant preparation and can be taxing. I will try to post one once a week and will introduce the subject on the Heygo Voyageurs Facebook in advance. These talks will be raw and sometime challenging, but also inclusive. Please participate with an open mind and hold comments until the Q&A. Thank you
