I'm reading "Guns, Germs, and Steel" right now, which is very illuminating on the whole discussion. Trinity and I will be discussing it when she's done reading it, tomorrow I expect.

I read Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee last year and it answered Trinity's question.

Nathan laughed a few years ago at a Hispanic family carrying an American flag and said, "They think they are American." We had a discussion about who were the immigrants and who were the native Americans.
