Western Europeans wiped out most of the culture in the "new" world before we became interested in preserving, studying, or recording it. It was the same with the ancient Roman forays into western Europe at an earlier period.<BR/><BR/>As a kid growing up in New Hampshire, I was always fascinated by the Algonquin place names dotting our map - to realize that only a few hundered years earlier, the landscape around me was the old, familiar home of a people that had been there for such a long time. It staggered me to consider the "here and goneness" of a whole people whose presence still haunts the place verbally.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14770384445526387065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467191002829130920.post-39787071723264820602007-10-12T16:56:00.000-04:002007-10-12T16:56:00.000-04:00wow, that's wild!wow, that's wild!butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09707564356641101351noreply@blogger.com
