The People
Humans had lived on the North American continent for
thousands of years when whites arrived. They had existed
in total harmony with the landscape, and contrary to white
propaganda were happy, healthy and comfortable. They did
not have computers, or McDonald's hamburgers, or even
toxic waste, but they were happy.
The native people were driven almost to extinction by the
whites, and now survive in ragged, degraded groups. Some
of their descendants are reviving and maintaining what they
can of the old ways.
