Description
renecyberdoc i saying you coming here to America. Do not do what I did when I was a young dumb teenager.
I went out west with my family and I was around 13 , could be 12 years old.
I saw my first Indian in real life in a store in Texas and I walked up to him to shake his hand and I was saying "You the first Indian I ever saw in my life. I saw them on TV and the movies but not in real life".
He did not say a word but turn and walked away from me.
I was mad and wanted to jump on him and hit him. But I did not do that.
I heard his wife saying to him that he was wrong in doing that seeing I had the great spirit that was acting in me. He told his wife " yes I know but I could not do so for I had to keep clean and not talk to whites at all for a religious ceremony I was to be in that was coming up soon."
I looked back on this and wonder why I was so dumb doing this. But hey The great spirit was with me.
This is a true story and I bet you can think of dumb stuff you all did in your past.
You all do not do dumb stuff
here we see the Native American in Santa Fe selling they ware.
this is for renecyberdoc and UteBigSmile as they is comeing here to America.
My brother told me EU people knows more about the native American and they history that the people living here. Wonder why. Schools is dumbing down America. SWe are 37 in the world now. not good.

I love this story. It is a gem! and a bit of Americana. Thanks for telling it and you are right. I believe that EU folks do have a bigger fascination with our native people as WE SHOULD HAVE. And by the way - you are a gem too my friend.

Beautiful image. Your story rings true. Every non-Native American in America needs to read Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee by Dee Brown. It is the history of the interaction of whites and Native Americans from the Native American point of view. It shows the many wrong things that white people did in dealing with the Native Americans. After reading it, I could never stand before a Native American without feeling ashamed. Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee should be required reading at every high school in America.

I think that all we had our moment of stupidity, just that it takes a lifetime to figure it out! Wonderful shot !
