Indianen.

Ik las op mijn veertiende het boek, Begraaf mijn hart bij de bocht van de rivier/ Bury my heart at Wounded Knee van Dee Brown, dat in het bijzonder handelt over de lotgevallen van de Noord-Amerikaanse indianen in de periode na 1860. Er staan zwart wit foto's in van indianen, die ik eindeloos natekende tot in het abstracte toe. Ik kom hierop door een CD van Robbie Robertson & the Red Road Ensemble - Music for the Native Americans.

Ik lees in het tekstboekje de onderstaande woorden, misschien iets voor de huidige president om over na te denken.

Native Americans Sharing

And now, grandfather, I ask you to bless the white man. He needs your wisdom, your guidance. You see for so long he has tried to destroy my people and only feels comfortable when given power. Bless them, show them the peace we understand, teach them humility. For I fear they will destroy themselves and their children as they have done so with Mother Earth. I plead, I cry, after all They are my brothers.

- Sandy Kewanhaptewa
