What Gets Passed Down
This piece tells a story of rural Southern Missouri through the forms of knowledge inherited when the state offers nothing: no direction, no infrastructure, no recognition. The author is from Douglas County, where his family still hunts and welds and buries its dead. Electricity came late. Broadband still hasnโt come at all. Seth comes from the Western Cherokee Nation of Arkansas and Missouri, a tribe erased not just by settler removal but by federal recognition itself.
