(However, what have we done lately to atone?)

Thank you. Your comments mean more to me than I can express.

However, I don’t know if I will ever be able to not feel shame over what was done and what is being done today.

What your ancestors did to mine was their doing. I bear no ill will towards you or anyone else because you weren’t there to make a decision either way and I wasn’t there to suffer. I am grateful for those who acknowledge that what happened was wrong but they should never take responsibility for the transgressions of others because of the color of their skin or who their ancestors were.

I was in Comanche Territory.
I got choked up at the end of the piece and finished mt ride in silence as I processed these words.
Thank you.

The stories the townspeople tell about are vastly different from the stories that the Southerners and Native Americans tell.

What all of us – whites, blacks, yellows, browns – did to the Natives is unforgivable and makes me ashamed.
