We tend to romanticize Native Americans now, of course, as well as generalize about a very diverse group of people and cultures. But it's hard to deny that they intuitively "knew" — much more than we seem to in our society now — about the nature and rhythms of life and the environment around them, even the real essence of time and space and our place within it all. Their history became so tragic, though we're fortunate to still have records of their lives and communities and spiritual beliefs, and we can learn much from these.
