When I first studied geology, I...So very true, Lyn. When I first studied geology, I did so because I couldn't stand what humans were doing to the planet. I picked up a few archaeology courses while finishing my BS. Anthropology really helped temper my disgust with my younger perception of reality. By the time I hit grad school, I was much wiser and making excuses for humans. But that's what anthropology does--explains human behavior cross-culturally. :) Anyhow, I've always had a respect for nature. So I agree with you wholeheartedly. Let's hope something changes for the future. Maybe it's in how we raise our children. My daughter is almost 4. She asks why "that man" (a person) threw trash along the roadside as we drive down the road. She says "he" is bad because he's killing all the plants and animals... Out of the mouth of babes!

I must read FORBIDDEN ETERNITY when it comes out, it's now gone to the top of my wish list!<BR/><BR/>I love learning about Native Americans, I especially love their philosophy and way of life, their respect and reverence for the Earth, its creatures and the natural forces.

He had wonderful stories and quite a few make believe stories that he told us kids. Of course, we believed him. Some of the stories he told us that were fiction, we didn't find out until his death, then my mother told us which ones were true and which ones were not. I have loved reading about Native Americans also. Their way of life, their loyalty and commitment to family, love of fun and the pride they all share. They amaze me to this day.Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961195077891306703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-52341646622215337502009-03-26T11:40:00.000-07:002009-03-26T11:40:00.000-07:00Thanks, Lisa. ;)Thanks, Lisa. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-4149905790023349092009-03-26T11:23:00.000-07:002009-03-26T11:23:00.000-07:00Good lord, I think my heard stopped for a moment. ...Good lord, I think my heard stopped for a moment.

I'm certain it cringes when looking at the larger portion of English ancestry I had that floated over on the Mayflower. Can you imagine my inner cellular turmoil?

In my family, we have three of the Five Civilized tribes covered and a huge library on the history of the Removal, Trail of Tears, and settlement here in Oklahoma. I love Hillerman's books. They are very well (and respectfully done.) I remember a book I read a long time ago called <I>Sweetwater Saga</I> about white captives. One chose to remain with her Cheyenne husband despite the stigma. Another one I remember is <I>A Woman of the People</I> http://www.tamu.edu/upress/BOOKS/1999/capps.htm which is a fictionalized telling of Cynthia Anne Parker, a little girl who is taken captive and is the mother of Quannah Parker, the Comanche chieftain.<BR/><BR/>I'll stay out of the politics, too, Skhye.
