It is so interesting I have been sitting here for hours reading stories. I love the early history of our country and have always felt bad for what we did to the Indians. It was their land, in essence. They didn't really claim it so much, from what I understand. It seemed they merely wanted what was on the land to use for survival. They couldn't understand people wanting to put down permanent homes and digging in the ground. All of that would disrupt their way of natural life, following the herds, waters and naturally growing harvests in cycles. I could be totally off with all of this; but it is just the idea I'd had that Indians lived much closer to the cycles of earth, in harmony with it than we whites. I think if we had learned from them the secrets they know our land would be much happier now. There is so much we whites could learn from such brilliant, strong, proud people. I deeply admire the "American Indian" No one can blame them for wanting to save their way of life. It is something any parent would do for their family. I may be naive and completely unaware about some facts; but I would very much like to get them right. In a perfect world; we could give the honest, displaced, hardworking Indians a helping hand out of what sounds to be a hell hole. Again, I'm just a nobody, dogooder that likes to help people that I think are being screwed over by the government. Feel Free to email me anytime I have only just discovered this site.
