PESKYNATIVEAMERICANS
“Pesky Native Americans” - There were many inferences about me during professor Alexopoulis’ lectures sophomore year. Many were just too subtle to be worth putting here as it was a cumulative effect he was going for not a one time big hit. Others would have been more obvious if you could see him and hear him at the same time as I was sitting in the front row with no one else close to me and he could just point or gesture in my direction to help people get the point that he was talking about me. Also to help me get the point that he was talking about me.
However during this lecture he let some of his bigotry slip. He is discussing a fence used by early European American settlers around villages and small towns. He claims the fence called a paling fence was meant to keep out animals and “pesky Native Americans.” It’s a small sign of things to come as he would ramp up his efforts to discourage me from pursuing a degree in landscape architecture in later semesters.

I took this same class with John and remember him saying the same thing. It was tongue in cheek, referring to the way the English colonists viewed the Native Americans.
