Imagine the United States operating without a designated leader. Interesting to me was the part about DeSoto and how his visit to the native peoples almost swept them out of history altogether since he left death in his wake.<br />Very interesting post.Sarah J.

Having seen the Cahokia Mounds, and been exposed to the Blackhawk Wars information from an early age, this adds to the knowledge and allows me to make more sense of those early learnings. Thank you.

I had already studied some of the different tribal customs of the Southwestern Indians, but you're helping me understand a lot that I hadn't picked up yet. I hope the panel Chuck attended was wrong about us white folk never being able to write a convincing Indian character!JES Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08464125288178319685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-15423955806845014522013-09-14T10:24:32.131-05:002013-09-14T10:24:32.131-05:00Perhaps strangely, I posted on my blog yesterday a...Perhaps strangely, I posted on my blog yesterday about writing women characters when you're a man, and mentioned the Native American angleCharles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-2886184557265679372013-09-14T09:57:11.272-05:002013-09-14T09:57:11.272-05:00What a wonderful post, as always, Troy.

I really love these segments you are doing on the topic of writing about Indians when you're not one. <br /><br />Chuck, just keep in mind that because someone says something that doesn't always make it true.<br /><br />Great info, Troy.

Cannot get the panel at Bismarck that said no paleface could ever, ever, ever get it right where Indians are concerned. So I guess we must do the best we can.ChuckTyrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02609200010767178944noreply@blogger.com
