Beautifully written. More than that, it helps demonstrate how the white man devastated a highly developed, highly functional culture.

Thanks for sharing this story. <br />When they gov says they're here to help you...think again! The Monacans (Natives of my homeland) aren't even Federally recognized. In fact, the Pamonkey (Pocahontas' people0 just received Federal recognition though everyone has always known the history.SuziCatenoreply@blogger.com
