This article presents the author's confessions about being an anthropological poser. He shares a series of short fragments that evidence the ways he has drawn the line around his work. He draws some lessons about how to work collaboratively and effectively as Natives, scholars, and Native scholars. He closes this confession by admitting that he has not been the most perfect scholar. He states that he often bothers organizers of conferences and publishers by asking more of them than they are used to, because he thinks working with tribal people requires more: more attention to words, issues of colonization, issues of representation, and issues of intersubjectivity not objectivity.
