A00018 - Native American Indian Heritage Month

However, in today's United States, I suppose even that can be the subject of dispute.

Nevertheless, I will be observing the month and I shall begin by sharing below some of the Native News stories that caught my eye this past year.

Finally, it is Friday, and once upon a time I routinely shared a piece of music.  I do so again today with a song that, in some respects, seems to have begun to resonate throughout the First Nations... at least that is what I pray.
