Hello!I was thrilled to find your site today, and I'm planning to add your link to my site, where you'll find links devoted to multicultural education. If, after you view my site, you would prefer that I remove the link, I will, although sadly, do so.
Your site has been done with such exquisite yet simple beauty that speaks of an effort to tell historical information as well as information about a tribe many people would not otherwise know existed. As a result, you have made an outstanding contribution to multicultural and intercultural relations, for people of all cultures to understand the native peoples who stole my own heart when I was only 16. At that time, I lived with the Oglala Sioux in Pine Ridge for a summer; but that summer not only allowed me to grow and learn, but to share those experiences with others in my efforts to dispel the stereotypes about the Native Americans.
In my heart, however, I am honored because I learned first-hand what others do not know and cannot know because they weren't able to do what I had done. The native peoples of the United States of America and around the world have my undying respect, loyalty and love.
Thank you so much for giving all people an opportunity to reach across the barriers to even a glimmer of more understanding!
