Well, here's what I know....
First off, what little we know about the native Americans in the US comes only from archeology and a limited amount of documentation from 17th-19th century European settlers. We know practically NOTHING. The only remnants left for us to ponder upon are the artifacts buried under thousands of years of geological history in the soil we stand on. It's hard to grasp the concept of what happened here 10,000+ years ago, but it's still here. The people were real. The tools used by these people to survive the harshest conditions nature can throw at them are pure treasures. To sit down and try to imagine what it was like to live thousands of years ago on the very land we call home today will make your brain explode. Human beings have a lot shorter list of basic necessities than what are lead to believe today. There's a few of those necessities that'll never change, and has always been the key to our survival. Timber, stone, water, and wildlife. Where all four exist, lies the keys to human history, future and past, and that will never change. The world is full of treasures beyond our wildest imagination. The only way to find them is to put yourself there. When you land in the right place, you will know it. It's in our DNA. Slow down and just listen. The gifts of time have a way of revealing themselves.
We need to hang out one day.
