Indians..

[Nebe]

How ignorant of me to say that they 'used to' live here.. They still do.

If I go see Gene, all I will want to talk about is fishing in the good ol days...

For info on King Philip's War, pick up a copy of "Mayflower" by Nathaniel Philbrick. Most excellant reading. Philbrick starts with the Pilgrims arrival, the Native politcal scene, the relationships between the Natives and the Pilgrims ( including Squanto's part) and how it all went to hell in a handbasket. It isn't the history we were taught in grade school, much better. Nebe, read it aloud to your son, good bedtime stories. ( Preread for any surprises, but I don'r recall any.) Then visit the sites mentioned.

Nebe, have you been to the museum of primitive art and culture in Peace Dale?

A good hike is the Long Pond/Ell Pond area, there is a cliff overhang that legend says was an Indian campground, not sure if it was BS or not but its a cool place
