                                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.
