RE: "The Indian Boy" In A White Man's World
Good day janton, what a light bulb moment or moments for Hermann to realise that the white men were only kind and friendly...... well most of them! lol. I love the first photo with Hermann in it. Once you pointed out the white boy, it made it easy to see it! Thank you.
It is quite a skill to shoot a hat at one hundred yards - wow!
Yes, he was an expert with a bow, it would have been fun to see! I wondered about those distances with the bow but someone who knows about it said those were normal distances.
But yes, what he realized about the white man, him being totally Indian in thinking, means that we just needed to have meetings of the two cultures and we could have got along and merged to a great degree. Instead the army tried to kill them all.
In other words, if the tribes and different white nations could have met in peace and learned about each other's cultures I think we would have worked something out if the Indians could be made to understand that millions of whites were coming and it was useless to try and stop them.
So very true. Such a shame that there were no wise spiritual men in the right place to make the decisions janton. How different it would be then and now. Acceptance of differences and diversity is taking a heck of a long time.
