We have missed (crushed) so much of their beautiful heritage. Hopefully we can put that in the past and appreciate all cultures.

So happy to see ‘The Real Americans’ featured. They had a bad deal, but all the angst is focused on slavery. Time to wake up, and pay back a long-overdue debt to the Tribes.
(An outsider’s view)
Best wishes, Pete.
