The nanny state, career politicians and their federal government has created, has spawned A generation or two of mindless lemmings... To them(lemmings) playing Xbox and PlayStation is more important than history and how we got to the place we are. Too bad it's too late to recover...I’m in my 40’s…I’ve seen videos like this on television ever since I can recall
I’ve always wondered what the point was. I mean do the people who do the interviewing have an agenda to enlighten, to alarm, to try to feel smug and superior??? Yes there are people out there who are illiterate as to our history. If you were to ask me to play a note on a piano, I couldn’t tell you what key delivers what note. If you were to ask 100 others, I’m sure you’d get bewilderment and confusion also while others see a simple question. Is there some recommendation for what people “should know”? You can get through life just fine without knowing who Alan Shepherd was or who General MacArthur was or who Teddy Roosevelt was. Is not knowing who John Hancock was any more or less tragic?
In Indian history everything was verbal there was no written language but still it was knowledge passed along and remembered. Of course the federal government came into the picture and made all that go away…
The point is, history is the future.
Indian, sorry, Native American, verbal history was also enhanced, embellished, purified and modified with each successive generation.
That is how we know that Indians, sorry, Native Americans, all loved each other, they never waged wars one tribe against another, only killed what they ate and never ever littered the land with plastic cups and fast food take out containers.
