Thank you for your comments Adult. You are correct.....It was not my intention to hint that Native Americans didn't matter until the Europeans got here. While I am of European descent, my wife is partially of Native American descent. I would not purposefully insult her or anyone else. While I always have known that everyone's perspective is different, it is quite interesting to read or hear how others, who do not know me, interpret what I wrote. I invite you to visit my blog and comment whenever you feel like it! Have a great weekend!
