What shows up on my screen is a short biographical sketch of William Drummond Stewart. I've visited both Cahokia (about a 5-6 hour drive from here) and Chaco, as well as numerous other archeological sites here in Wisconsin (where 4,000 or so of an estimated 15,000-20,000 mounds built by what I believe is referred to as the "Mississippian Culture" remain extant.....the greatest concentration of such mounds anywhere in the world, if memory serves) and in other places scattered around the country. I've studied Native American cultures at the undergraduate level and currently have a dozen or so books on their history and various other aspects of their diverse cultures in my library.....and, yes, I have read them. While engaged in a work/study job at UW Stevens Point in central Wisconsin in the mid 80s, I shared office space with the campus Native American Center. I spent a lot of time talking to the some of folks there (not all of them.....things were pretty tense sometimes due to an often very heated controversy over native fishing rights).....got to know some of them pretty well. I've won a grand total of $17 (U.S.) in one visit each to three seperate First Nations owned and operated casinos. My name, I've been told, translates easily and recognisably into many Indian languages.....but I don't recall any of those I've heard. g. |
