A PERSPECTIVE FROM A NATIVE AMERICAN, ABOUT THANKSGIVING
As one born in West Texas, our little town of Lamesa, had few Blacks, no Indians, and a lot of Hispanics. The Anglo population was the majority, and we all lived in the nice homes, owned the businesses and banks, and ran things. But now when I go back to Lamesa, Texas, the Anglos are the minority, and while still own a fair share of businesses, the Hispanics are the new majority, and have much more political clout. Blacks, well very few there. Indians non that I know of.
My little hat, we have given them to friends all over the country...in support of science and education...something our nation has been built upon and needs.
But I saw this article written with emotion by an Indian in the Northeast, and the perspective is so seldom written with eloquence, I thought "BOOTHEGLOBALPERSPECTIVES" should share his words. It is part of our history, and not that I am a "bleeding heart" for any movement or particular group, I print it here, just to expand our perspective of this man and this group. Good Reading!
