Following the spirit of your words, Mark, "...the poor Indian, whose untutored mind see God, or hears him in the wind..." there are many who'd be offended and take up a cause against the appearance of the words, but the sound of the words informed by the histories of two peoples reveals deep exchanges between two worldviews that clashed. It seemed from the outset of their meeting doom was the word of life for the Red Peoples.
In your words is the view millions of 'good-hearted' white Christians and traders expressed before and after we entered the 20th century. Missionaries and politicians lorded over the Red People a perception of a superior way of life over a way of living that was a part of Nature as if relationship with Earth, our Mother was absurd.
What a history lesson in so short a sentence. -Gregory E. Woods, 1.18.14
