Hello,
I am interested in any Native American information that I can get my hands
on. I've always been interested but I never knew who to believe, i.e.
which stories are true and which are not. I mostly want to know about
Native American traditions, beliefs, philosophies, etc. Also perhaps
Native American literature by Native Americans.
Is there a library in the Maryland/D.C. area that has a good collection?
Also, I've heard that "A Man Called Horse" is a myth. Is this true of
"Dances With Wolves" also? I truely enjoyed this movie and I hope that
there were at least some facts in it. I especially liked the idea that
they used real Native American language (I believe that they even brought
in a Native language specialist).
Also, I would be interested in corresponding through email with a Native
American if anyone would be interested in talking to a
"white-Scottish-countryish-girl-who-moved-to-the-city".
Thanks so much for you time.
