Kavika, I like your articles as I see very few nowadays. The plight of Native Americans seems to be forgotten by so many. I look forward to reading your articles and wont always comment as I get carried away bacause of my passion and knowledge of how the Native Americans were treated. I can only see it through the eyes of a white man who had many friends who were Native Americans. I can try to put myself in any mans shoes but because I"m not that man I would'nt be able to grasp what he sees and feels as he would. Oh I think I could come close, but it still would'nt be the same. For some it would'nt be as close as one would think. Hopefully, we will be friends. I hope you have read many of ny comments so you can get a gist of what I'm saying. In the future I will try to make a small gesture of words to let you know I was there. Bless you and good luck!
Nice new header up top, mon ami ;-)
I loved reading your comments and responses in the 'Alabama brings back slavery, this time for Latinos' article.
