it was a good little read, especially as I have always ahd an interest in both the Old Religion and Native American culture. I know a bit about both, but by no means enough to be an expert or anything. The thing that really makes me mad are statements like these: In 1860 the U.S. Cavalry rounded them up, slaughtered their livestock, burned their crops, and marched them 300 miles east to Bosque Redondo. Recalled as Hweeldii (literally, "hardship"), this event was their Holocaust.They basically killed the culture that once lived on these lands, and to my knowledge and sadness, it was a culture that had both a steep sense of t5adition and respect for the environment we are now just realizing (But still doing nothing about it...) needs to be fixed.  |

Yeah, this upsets me too. All of the people who lived here before the European settlers came were ill-treated. I've always hated hearing about it. There are things people can do to make their descendants' live better, but no one who has the ability to to so has done anything about it.
