You should
understand
the way it
was
back then,
because it is
the same
even now
Leslie Marmon Silko
Ignorance is one of the greatest barriers to understanding
between two peoples. If we don't understand each other, if we do not know the
culture, the language, or the history of each other, we are unable to see each
other as human beings with value and dignity. This is especially true of our
relations between Indian and non-Indians.
