What is life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow which runs across
the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

Crowfoot, Blackfoot warrior and orator 1830 - 1890

there was actually an article a while ago about an indian group who declared independence from the US
a very brave move
I think the vast majority of people think of the native americans as very noble dignified and with a strong connection to the earth and spirituality

The Native American "harmony with nature" had a high price. It was their ancestors who caused the extinction of dozens of species through overhunting - the large mammals, American species of horses and camels and so on. As a result, there were no animals of any size left to domesticate and use as beasts of burden, with which they might have developed technologies better able to resist European incursion.
