Question

Well that sounds very interesting, Rolland.

I am kind of interested in how one characterizes a 'folk culture'. The
original inhabitants of North & South American were very sophisticated in
math, science and communication. However, since the colonists annihilated
all the leaders and the the medicine people who maintained, shared and
spread such information, and since people recording language only asked
questions that paralled their European culture, a lot was lost.

Here, we have writing on the rocks, and languages scripted through various
lengths of time.

Are you in Canada? I looked up www.shaw.ca, and it seems to be a cable or
satellite tv company. Yes?

Mia
