Katt xoxoxo hon xoxoox

how can you not love Woodie Guthrie? he's part of our american dirt.

i don't know where you come from ;-) but i was fortunate ? if that's the word, to live right smack dab on the Cherokee Trail of Tears.

My father, among his other hobbies, was an archaelogist, and on the weekends the family would go to his construction site and while he was basically working on Sunday, mom and my siblings would have a picnic and walk thru the dirt he'd just bulldozed up and found, a huge lot, of arrowheads, from bird points to bear points and other amazing American Indian artifacts.

I was aware since i was a child of the others that had lived here in my town since before Andrew Jackson got all militant about it.

Cryin shame.

It makes me even sicker when i see that all the Dept of Interior can do is give the Native Americans the right to build casinos. And the Navahos don't believe in gambling.

Smack dab in the middle of the colonies. Of course we were taught about the Indians but I didn't grasp the atrocity of it all until I was much older.
