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.
