Excellent research, presentation, of our sadly oppressive American History - and its gentle reminder that it is not only possible today, but is indeed happening by our silence today.

So interesting. Having read books like "The Trail of Tears", I was enthralled at the factual information presented by Billie. I think we need a Rosetta Stone for Sequoia's language. If we only could read what documents remain, we probably could learn a lot from what the native American tribes knew and thought.
