Continued from last week. THE TERRITORIES OF THE HAUDENOSAUNEE AS SYMBOLIZED BY THE HIAWATHA WAMPUM The “Dish with One Spoon” applied to the hunting grounds but probably not to the cultivated lands---though anyone entering a village would be treated with hospitality, with food as its first component.

Big Brother even points out the lights to Little Brother and insists he can see them out his window even though he is in a rear facing car seat. I haven’t really started Christmas shopping but I usually wait until the wee...
