Without The Benefit of the Ancients

It would seem that with respects to our immediate understanding of the great dispensations of time immemorial here in North America, and our understanding of how the crossing paths of specific sociological adaptations has deeply affected humanity in North America, we might well be too young to grasp such graphic, inevitable changes.  Our understandings are immediately subject to the current Modern Age we are in… without the benefit of the Ancient Age we have changed.

In the brevity of 500 years the sacred land of the North American Indian has been

the basin, the foundation if you will, to the material culture the entire world could not, and will not, do without.  The overpowering influence of electricity, industry, agriculture & technologies alone evaporate the ability to understand the influence of the Majority Race here in North America.  However, a good heart still unfolds mysteries for the benefit of their character.    

Evil & greed were not the materials created, or the technologies developed, BUT evil & greed has been within the hearts of mankind.  This is the substance which has forever hurt humanity... the North American Indians were on a similar line as to all shattered humanity.  However, it has been exclusively Their land, and Their lives (no other peoples in the world) which provided the world with extreme material comfort and ease. The Conquest of North American laid the foundation for the Industrial Revolution.  Although many millions have cared for lost humanity (of which I am included), the industry of the world was inevitable.

With that said, catastrophically altering a race of man, the North American Indian, in the space of 200 years cannot give we, who are inside the force of Their change, the understanding we yearn for of Their People.  We remain outside the reality of Their lives… separated by the fate of our own formation.    

So the best many can do (of whom I am one) is study and collect the knowledge of

The North American Indian from every approach possible.  Search the testimonies of the way they lived, loved, dreamed, fought and died; find the tangible trace of  their life-way in tools and art; and the touch their People and bloodline. We can understand more, we should endeavor to understand more, yet will never grasp the effects of this colossal change until we look at it from the other side. All honor and sympathy to the North American Indian, both past and present. Our devotion true.
