A year ago, my oldest daughter bought me a large framed picture of the Ten Indian Commandments as quoted above.
Tribute to the REAL Americans.
My "love affair" with the Native Americans started in High School when we read and then memorized "Hiawatha." It was further enhanced years later when I read James Michener's book, "Centennial." When they made a TV series of the book, I was enthralled and also felt for the first time what the Indians endured from the white man. Next, my sister sent me a postcard from Oklahoma with a picture of a handsome Indian chief on it. I showed it to a son-in-law with talent and he made a chalk drawing of the chief on a 19x24" background. Later he painted a beautiful native woman on the same size background. I had them both framed and hung them proudly in my living room.
Then there is the Disney movie of Pocahontas and the beautiful song, "Colors of the Wind" which is now playing. I could watch this movie as often as my grandchildren ask for it. LOL.
In the summer of 2003, my daughter, a friend and I went to a GREAT Aztec Indian Show with dancing and a variety of their artwork.
