Yes, Christine Vale is wonderful. Just one comment about Grace Paley's Occasional Thanksgiving Speech. She writes about "First Americans". At the conference I was at in Sacramento, two young Indians who are working with Governor Newsom on the "Truth and Healing Council" said at a session that they don't like to be called "First Americans" or "Native Americans". They feel it expresses the sense that they were conquered by the white Americans. The older generation accepted that definition, but they prefer to be called Indians, or even more, by the name of their specific tribe.
Beautiful
Read Heather Cox Richardson piece on Thanksgiving. It's actually not about the Native Americans, it's about North and South, Civil War.
