ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the author's dream experience and his thoughts on the concept of race that the academy had long-since discredited, and embarked on a personal and professional journey to giving up race himself. It offers powerful meditation on racialism and a manifesto for creating a world without it. The chapter examines personal identity, social movements, and policy, NAGPRA, Indian law, Red Pride, indigenous archaeology to show how they rely on race and how they should move beyond it. From his experimentation, it is found that the serene quantum curvatures that flow in and out of the past and future help us to weave the strands of our stories together in many ways, each pattern a different trip, yet somehow the same journey. In the hidden wayfaring that fills our sleep, echoing in the waking world, the words are the same, but they mean something quite variable, contingent, fateful, and beautiful.
