I watched three really good 'westerns' last night. I don't call them Westerns, I think they are Native American stories. I enjoy those types of 'westerns'.
The first one was "The Last of the Dogmen" from 1995. It has Barbara...

So much to learn about Native Americans. I didn't know there were 574 federally recognized tribes in existence. That's 229 in Alaska and the others are in 35 other states. About 14.6 percent of the American Indian population is...

This is a picture taken from the second floor of the First Americans Museum in Oklahoma City. This view doesn't quite express how large this "mural" is, but the picture I took from the 1st floor had a glare. My friend took this...

One of the comments on my last discussion mentioned the Ute was the name of a Native American tribe. When I was small, my father bred horses and mostly paint/pinto/skewbald/coloured horses. Cowboy and Indian films were very...

According to the NFL channel this morning, the Washington Football Team will have a new name and logo as of 2022.
There is still no hint on what either will be but they have stated that "Warriors" is not an option.

I haven't posted for a bit.
Mainly because it's my hunting season. No, not for wild-game, but for arrowheads.
We live in the center of the US where there are plenty of artifacts to be found.
But, there are a few rules we...

There are people that think that because Michael Vick made a mistake years ago and participated in dog fighting that he should never be forgiven and geet awarded for his football talents. Even though he has done...

I'll never forget the first time we walked up to the observation deck and took our first look out over the canyon. Pictures do not properly show the massiveness and the beauty of the Grand Canyon. What also hit me was the...

In 1608 John Smith was elected president of Jamestown. Its location had not been picked very carefully. They were ordered not to chose land that was occupied by Native Americans. That left swampy, bug infested areas. It was...

As you know, I tend to shy away from Pixaboy-type photos in my posts. They often seem so cliche or posed.

First he didn't really discovered America, Native Americans did! Some Vikings and a Chinese explorer had been there first but you don't see them mass murdering Natives.

I just read an article that claims that Christopher Columbus was not the benevolent person that I believed he was. He was not the person who was portrayed in the history books we studied when I was in school. Tell me it isn't...
