native people were everywhere on every square inch. they lived on the land that they also adapted the land to them and ecological ways. we have to learn again if it's going to survive. so the myth of the savage and the positive myth of the ecological indian and a spiritual person and the otherca side is the savage p but neither are what any human being is. so there's also the idea that all indians are alike and there isn't language called indian. of course there is many languages as there are native w people. so the myth suite came up with were important ones and i think people reading that look will wince when they find, that's what i thought and that's not true. i mentioned the renaming of. their editors in the papers in california when they talk about squaw valley they thought it was the complementary determined that women liked being called. this is the ventriloquist of what native people like and what they don't like and maybe they'd find one person who said i had no problem with that but it seems like it's only with native people

bradford views of the natives was far more critical. in the early chapters of his history, he wrote of them, as savage barbarians ready to fill the pilgrims side full of arrows, he described the landscape as the first encountered it as a hideous and desolate wilderness full of wild beasts and wild men. but his harshest views were confined to his poetry. in one poem castigating the natives as a people without god or law, and marveling that the colonists had lived so long among these folks so brutish and savage without tasting of their rage. winslow on the other hand, showed an appreciation of how they preserve memories of important events taking a hole in the ground that would prompt questions and thus the telling of a tale related to the event. while he acknowledged at one point he believed the indians about us are a people without religion or knowledge of any god, he later acknowledged that therein i i aired, for they conceive of many divine powers. while we shouldn't make too much of the different views of these plymouth leaders that

also when elliott was teaching the bible to native people back in the '50s and '60s, he felt like native people were not picking the religion of quick enough, so what he did, he hired native interpreters in my language. i say that because there's a really good story, right? back in the 1990s there was a woman from my community, she's a vice chair today, her name is jesse. she was having a dream speech is it people were coming to her dreams speaking a different town. this happened night after night after night. she said people look familiar but did not know their names. one of her dreams the people spoke english to her. they said that wampanoag people have the chance to get the language back, would they say yes? so she took it upon herself, went to mit, graduate with a degree in linguistics and started piecing the language back together again. how this was done, elders who still could speak some of the language, old records were in the wampanoag, okay? similar language families. what helped a great deal was that bible, king james bible in the wampanoag. when one of those first editions in

but the native american populations here in new mexico date back a thousand years. so, some have been governing theseos regions for nearly a thousand years, yet it took us even into the 1960s, 50, 60 years after we became a state to protect the right to vote. and that is in my generational lifetime. so, native americans are very loyal to this country. we have among some of the greatest veterans. get today, they remain as trustful and somewhat skeptical that their vote will count and matter. andd i think that this commissin at least is sensitive that we not only need to make sure they are included, but that we need to recognize some systemic failures of the past. so this is where we really stand lockstep with some of your reforms and protecting somer of the voter protection and also instill confidence that the native american i population tht they can make an impact. i will say this not having a secretary of interior and breaking into some of the electoral successes really has i believe send a real inspirational theme throughout the communities so we just had a bad h

were a mainstay of the native diet.know there was no cranberry sauce. there were cranberries in new england, but if you've ever eaten a cranberry, you know you will not want to eat a second one, unless there is a sugar added to it. so cranberry sauce didn't appear until sometime later, when the settlers had sugar with them. it was too expensive back them to have brought it to the new world. we also know that they didn't have pie, because the settlers did not have wheat or butter. but they may have and probably had pumpkins in some form in another -- some form or another. they might have stewed it because native americans ate pumpkins to. they did not have potatoes. potatoes are a new world such double, but they were not native to new england. while the pilgrims may have eaten potatoes in england, they did not bring any with them. sweet potatoes came from the caribbean, and were not native to new england. if you want to eat what the pilgrims ate, i would recommend lobster, venison and pork. host: one thing they also had

this this is the thing with e natives. if you appear strong, they will respect you. so if you show any sort of, or if you show yourself in force and you bring guns, they will understand that you are serious men. whereas, if they come to understand that you cannot care for yourselves as was the case, i will admit we were not well prepared for the winter months or even ahead of that. i should say that life here is quite a bit different than back where i came from. just outside of london city, so there you might merely go to market and secure victuals in this manner or purchased this for that item or select thing, where as here you must harvest everything that you eat or perhaps kill it, or you must make everything that you use. although admittedly most things of value they come aboard ship, so not everything i suppose. yet it is not so simple as going to market and having someone else do your work for yourself. you must provide. .. what they do not tell you abundance you must work, you must labor. >> did you have a particular trade in england in. >> well, i apprenticed
