ws:body "**Research and analysis of** ***relationality***
My name is **emsenn**, and I study ***relating*** as the fundamental force of existence. I am an independent researcher, coming to the study from lived experience as a **Lakota land steward**.
We are living through the breakdown of the ecology and society we have inherited, and old frameworks of sovereignty, individuality, and possession no longer explain how things actually *function*.
My work develops ***relationality*** as an alternative. Grounded in **Lakota epistemologies**, *relationality* is a way of understanding *life, governance, and history*.
This website is a research vault: an organized collection of notes, essays, formal specifications, and curricula, provided as a resource for the common good.
My [Letters to the Web](/letters) are probably the most interesting part of this website for readers who haven't been here before. Most of the other content exists to explore the concepts I touch on there in greater detail.
My given name is Morgan Sennhauser, but I go by emsenn. My preferred honorific prefix is M. I use they, them, theirs, as my pronouns. I am a queer. I am of the Itazipcho (Sans Arc of the Lakota Sioux). I reside in North Shore of Gitchigumee, Minnesota, United States of America, the homeland of the Ojibwe, who never ceded sovereignty. My main online presence is at [https://emsenn.net](https://emsenn.net). My email is [emsenn@emsenn.net](mailto:emsenn@emsenn.net)." .
