4. Indeed, we have treated our American Indians so poorly down through history..

From Boston.school trip to Plymouth rock..as the story goes, when the Pilgrims landed, they found and stole the seeds for the next years planting..the Indians would bury the seeds..so much history, from East Coast to West Coast..and we do not look good at all..

I had the good fortune to visit Four Corners, not just to observe the vast vista..I had a conversation with one of the tribal elders..I don't recall what I asked, but I can see him to this day..his demeanor, calm, almost resigned to what surrounded him..I have a small hand carved canoe that he made..

also the annual pow wow at San Xavier Mission del Bac Church in Tucson, Arizona..spectacular..
