SENT Silko's NNS first RB published VVN book NN is VBZ the DT collection NN of IN poems NNS Laguna NP Woman NP 1974 CD which WDT draws VVZ richly RB upon IN her PP$ tribal JJ ancestry NN . SENT Silko NP has VHZ lived VVN and CC taught VVN in IN New NP Mexico NP and CC Alaska NP as RB well RB as IN in IN Arizona NP , , where WRB she PP currently RB resides VVZ in IN Tucson NP . SENT Her PP$ much JJ acclaimed JJ novel NN Ceremony NN , , the DT story NN of IN a DT Native JJ American NP of IN mixed JJ ancestry NN who WP returns VVZ as IN a DT veteran NN of IN World NP War NP II NP to TO his PP$ Laguna NP reservation NN , , was VBD published VVN in IN 1977 CD . SENT her PP$ miscellany NN Storyteller NN , , drawing VVG upon IN Native JJ American JJ myths NNS , , and CC combining VVG poetry NN , , family NN history NN , , fiction NN , , and CC photographs NNS , , was VBD published VVN in IN 1981 CD . SENT Silko's NP correspondence NN with IN the DT poet NN James NP Wright NP was VBD edited VVN after IN Wright's NP death NN by IN his PP$ widow NN Anne NP Wright NP under IN the DT title NN The DT Delicacy NN and CC Strength NP of IN Lace NP 1986 CD . SENT Her PP$ novel NN Almanac NN of IN the DT Death NP 1991 NP , , whose WP$ German JJ translation NN by IN Bettina NP Munch NP was VBD published VVN by IN Rogner NP Bernhard NP last JJ year NN , , is VBZ the DT principal JJ subject NN of IN the DT following VVG interview NN , , which WDT was VBD conducted VVN by IN Thomas NP Irmer NP and CC Matthias NP Schmidt NP on IN the DT occasion NN of IN Leslie NP Silko's NP recent JJ visit NN to TO Leipzig NP . SENT Standard JJ hotel NN lobby NN , , muted JJ colors NNS on IN the DT carpet NN , , CNN NP on IN the DT tube NN , , the DT sound NN turned VVD off RP . SENT This DT place NN could MD be VB anywhere RB . SENT . SENT . SENT and CC we PP want VVP to TO come VV down RP on IN Planet NP Germany NP to TO welcome VV Leslie NP Marmon NP Silko NP with IN our PP$ first JJ question NN . SENT Is VBZ this DT your PP$ first JJ trip NN to TO Germany NP . SENT Yes UH , , it PP is VBZ . SENT And CC I PP am VBP very RB excited VVN to TO come VV to TO Leipzig NP because IN I PP am VBP very RB interested JJ in IN the DT transition NN that WDT is VBZ going VVG on IN here RB . SENT This DT interest NN is VBZ related VVN to TO the DT themes NNS of IN your PP$ most RBS recent JJ novel NN , , Almanac NN . SENT . SENT . SENT Yes UH , , you PP know VVP when WRB I PP began VVD writing VVG Almanac NN the DT wall NN had VHD not RB come VVN down RP yet RB . SENT But CC this DT is VBZ very RB complex JJ . SENT First RB of IN all DT , , back RB then RB , , the DT people NNS in IN the DT Philippines NPS stopped VVD the DT tanks NNS when WRB Marcos NP had VHD to TO leave VV , , and CC I PP have VHP my PP$ character NN in IN Almanac NN who WP watches VVZ satellite NN television NN and CC thinks VVZ Oh NP , , people NNS all RB over IN the DT world NN will MD see VV this DT . SENT This DT is VBZ the DT idea NN of IN Marshal NP McLuhan NP , , the DT global JJ village NN . SENT And CC then RB , , when WRB all PDT these DT other JJ things NNS occurred VVD it PP seemed VVD to TO me PP that IN , , perhaps RB , , that's NNS how WRB my PP$ character NN could MD imagine VV all PDT these DT events NNS . SENT And CC when WRB the DT big JJ change NN came VVD here RB I PP had VHD been VBN working VVG and CC writing VVG on IN that DT part NN . SENT It PP was VBD pretty RB amazing JJ . SENT Most JJS critics NNS call VVP you PP the DT first JJ Native JJ American JJ woman NN novelist NN with IN your PP$ first JJ novel NN Ceremony NN . SENT I PP guess VVP that's NNS true JJ . SENT The DT reason NN I PP hesitate VVP in IN my PP$ answer NN is VBZ that IN we PP in IN the DT United NP States NPS have VHP so RB much JJ ignorance NN about IN our PP$ own JJ history NN . SENT There EX might MD have VH been VBN some DT Native JJ American JJ woman NN long RB ago RB that IN we PP don't VVD know VV about RB . SENT But CC I PP suppose VVP no RB , , I PP am VBP the DT first JJ . SENT It PP seems VVZ hard RB to TO believe VV that IN it PP would MD take VV so RB long RB . SENT No DT one NN else RB was VBD in IN print NN before IN Ceremony NN . SENT If IN this DT is VBZ true JJ , , it PP means VVZ that IN you PP established VVD a DT new JJ line NN in IN American JJ literature NN . SENT I PP guess VVP so RB . SENT Laughs VVZ You PP know VVP I PP just RB do VVP things NNS and CC later RBR on IN people NNS tell VV me PP Oh UH , , this NN and CC this DT . SENT but CC it PP was VBD not RB what WP I PP had VHD in IN mind NN . SENT But CC this DT is VBZ a DT great JJ achievement NN for IN a DT writer NN . SENT You PP started VVD writing VVG poetry NN , , drawing VVG from IN old JJ Indian JJ legends NNS handed VVD down RP by IN your PP$ ancestors NNS . SENT Yes UH , , when WRB one PP grows VVZ up RP in IN the DT Pueblo NP community NN , , in IN the DT Pueblo NP tribe NN the DT people NNS are VBP communal JJ people NNS , , it PP is VBZ an DT egalitarian JJ communal JJ society NN . SENT The DT education NN of IN the DT children NNS is VBZ done VVN within IN the DT community NN , , this DT is VBZ in IN the DT old JJ times NNS before IN the DT coming VVG of IN the DT Europeans NPS . SENT Each DT adult NN works VVZ with IN every DT child NN , , children NNS belong VVP to TO everybody NN and CC the DT way NN of IN teaching NN is VBZ to TO tell VV stories NNS . SENT All DT information NN , , scientific JJ , , technological JJ , , historical JJ , , religious JJ , , is VBZ put VVN into IN narrative JJ form NN . SENT It PP is VBZ easier JJR to TO remember VV that DT way NN . SENT So RB when WRB I PP began VVD writing VVG when WRB I PP was VBD at IN the DT University NP of IN New NP Mexico NP , , the DT professor NN would MD say VV now RB you PP write VV your PP$ poetry NN or CC write VV a DT story NN , , write VV what WP you PP know VVP they PP always RB tell VV us PP . SENT All RB I PP knew VVD was VBD my PP$ growing VVG up RP at IN Laguna NP , , recallings NNS of IN some DT other JJ stories NNS that IN I PP had VHD been VBN told VVN as IN a DT child NN . SENT So IN this DT type NN of IN education NN was VBD exclusively RB based VVN upon IN oral JJ traditions NNS and CC not RB on IN a DT written JJ culture NN , , as RB in IN McLuhan's NP terms NNS . SENT Yes UH , , it PP is VBZ a DT culture NN in IN which WDT each DT person NN has VHZ a DT contribution NN to TO make VV . SENT The DT older JJR you PP are VBP the DT more JJR valued VVN you PP are VBP but CC each DT person NN is VBZ valued VVN . SENT The DT oral JJ tradition NN stays VVZ in IN the DT human JJ brain NN and CC then RB it PP is VBZ a DT collective JJ effort NN in IN the DT recollection NN . SENT So RB when WRB he PP is VBZ telling VVG a DT story NN and CC she PP is VBZ telling VVG a DT story NN and CC you PP are VBP telling VVG a DT story NN and CC one NN of IN us PP is VBZ listening VVG and CC there EX is VBZ a DT slightly RB different JJ version NN or CC a DT detail NN , , then RB it PP is VBZ participatory NN when WRB somebody NN politely RB says VVZ I PP remember VV it PP this DT way NN . SENT It PP is VBZ a DT collective JJ memory NN and CC depends VVZ upon IN the DT whole JJ community NN . SENT There EX is VBZ no DT single JJ entity NN that WDT controls VVZ information NN or CC dictates VVZ but CC this DT oral JJ tradition NN is VBZ a DT constantly RB self NN correcting VVG process NN . SENT What WP is VBZ the DT significance NN of IN the DT content NN of IN these DT old JJ stories NNS and CC legends NNS today NN . SENT In IN Ceremony NN and CC Storyteller NN old JJ legends NNS literally RB appear VVP in IN your PP$ stories NNS which WDT are VBP set VVN in IN the DT modern JJ world NN reservations NNS of IN today NN and CC which WDT clearly RB show VVP the DT impact NN of IN degeneration NN and CC even RB self NN destruction NN alcoholism NN , , unemployment NN , , disillusionment NN , , uprootedness NN and CC alienation NN . SENT What WP is VBZ the DT power NN of IN these DT old JJ stories NNS today NN in IN the DT Laguna NP Pueblo NP reservation NN . SENT Something NN in IN writing VVG Ceremony NN that IN I PP had VHD to TO discover VV for IN myself PP was VBD indeed RB that IN the DT old JJ stories NNS still RB have VHP in IN their PP$ deepest JJS level NN a DT content NN that WDT can MD give VV the DT individual NN a DT possibility NN to TO understand VV . SENT What WP frightens VVZ human JJ beings NNS is VBZ to TO not RB be VB able JJ to TO understand VV or CC to TO see VV what WP is VBZ happening VVG . SENT So RB in IN Ceremony NN I PP worked VVD with IN some DT of IN the DT old JJ stories NNS , , for IN example NN the DT Ck'o NP yo NP gambler NN , , Pa'caya NP nyi NNS , , he PP was VBD a DT magician NN and CC in IN the DT old JJ story NN he PP came VVD and CC he PP tricked VVD the DT people NNS into IN neglecting VVG their PP$ care NN of IN the DT corn NN fields NNS , , of IN their PP$ devotion NN to TO the DT corn NN mother NN . SENT This DT magician NN told VVD them PP they PP didn't VVD have VH to TO work VV hard RB , , by IN magic NN he PP could MD do VV things NNS . SENT Listen VV to TO him PP , , come VV to TO him PP . SENT So RB , , in IN the DT story NN , , the DT people NNS leave VVP their PP$ corn NN fields NNS and CC neglect NN the DT corn NN mother's NN altar NN and CC they PP are VBP amazed VVN by IN this DT magician NN . SENT But CC that DT is VBZ all RB that IN it PP was VBD , , all DT magic NN . SENT And CC while IN the DT people NNS were VBD enamored VVN by IN this DT magician NN , , the DT corn NN mother NN became VVD angered JJ and CC sad JJ and CC then RB she PP left VVD . SENT And CC all PDT the DT animals NNS left VVD and CC all PDT the DT plants NNS went VVD away RB , , a DT great JJ drought NN came VVD . SENT The DT people NNS found VVD themselves PP in IN a DT terrible JJ disaster NN , , they PP had VHD been VBN lured VVN away RB by IN this DT flashy JJ , , interesting JJ , , fast RB talking VVG conman NN . SENT So RB in IN Ceremony NN we PP have VHP in IN this DT old JJ story NN the DT idea NN that IN we PP human JJ beings NNS are VBP not RB dependable JJ creatures NNS , , we PP are VBP easily RB lured VVN from IN one CD way NN or CC another DT , , we PP get VVP out RP of IN balance NN and CC out RB of IN harmony NN with IN our PP$ natural JJ surroundings NN and CC also RB we PP can MD get VV out RP of IN harmony NN with IN one CD another DT . SENT And CC then RB it PP is VBZ quite RB difficult JJ and CC painful JJ but CC necessary JJ to TO make VV a DT kind NN of IN ceremony NN to TO find VV our PP$ way NN back RB . SENT I PP began VVD to TO realize VV that DT hasn't NN changed VVD . SENT Human JJ beings NNS can MD have VH lessons NNS of IN things NNS that WDT happened VVD in IN the DT past NN , , in IN history NN , , and CC say VVP Look VV , , this DT is VBZ what WP happens VVZ . SENT But CC somehow RB people NNS sometimes RB won't JJ pay NN attention NN , , won't JJ listen VVP and CC we PP have VHP to TO suffer VV through RB and CC have VH to TO learn VV again RB , , remember VV all RB over IN again RB why WRB it PP is VBZ that IN we PP have VHP to TO have VH a DT certain JJ respect NN or CC care NN for IN hard JJ work NN and CC for IN working VVG with IN one CD another DT . SENT There EX is VBZ no DT magic NN that WDT is VBZ going VVG to TO hand VV things NNS over RP . SENT When WRB I PP wrote VVD Ceremony NN I PP realized VVD that IN this DT old JJ story NN is VBZ still RB very RB relevant JJ , , even RB now RB , , even RB though IN these DT old JJ stories NNS take VVP place NN in IN the DT past NN they PP have VHP meaning NN now RB . SENT Oral JJ literatures NNS of IN the DT indigenous JJ populations NNS worldwide RB contain VVP these DT kinds NNS of IN valuable JJ insights NNS . SENT When WRB Sigmund NP Freud NP wrote VVD his PP$ Interpretation NN of IN Dreams NNS , , he PP began VVD to TO respect VV folklore NN . SENT You PP can MD look VV at IN the DT old JJ stories NNS that WDT were VBD told VVN among IN the DT tribal JJ people NNS here RB in IN a DT north JJ country NN and CC see VV that IN within IN them PP is VBZ the DT same JJ kind NN of IN valuable JJ lessons NNS about IN human JJ behavior NN and CC that IN we PP need VVP them PP still RB . SENT Could MD one PP say VVP this DT is VBZ a DT reinterpretation NN of IN the DT old JJ legends NNS . SENT Well UH , , no UH , , it's NNS not RB reinterpretation NN . SENT I PP think VVP their PP$ spirit NN is VBZ unbroken JJ because IN of IN the DT oral JJ tradition NN . SENT If IN you PP think VVP , , 500 CD years NNS , , that WDT is VBZ how WRB long RB Europeans NPS are VBP in IN the DT Americas NPS , , is VBZ not RB a DT very RB long JJ time NN . SENT Because IN for IN 18 CD , , 000 CD years NNS there EX is VBZ evidence NN , , and CC perhaps RB longer RBR , , of IN the DT Pueblo NP people NNS being VBG in IN that DT land NN . SENT So RB for IN 500 CD years NNS of IN Christianity NN and CC the DT conflict NN with IN it PP , , how WRB many JJ generations NNS are VBP this DT . SENT Not RB that IN many JJ . SENT The DT interpretation NN of IN the DT old JJ stories NNS remains VVZ the DT same JJ because IN of IN the DT oral JJ tradition NN . SENT It PP goes VVZ back RB through IN time NN so RB that IN the DT immediacy NN is VBZ now RB . SENT It PP is VBZ very RB important JJ how WRB time NN is VBZ seen VVN . SENT The DT Pueblo NP people NNS and CC the DT indigenous JJ people NNS of IN the DT Americas NPS see VVP time NN as IN round NN , , not RB as IN a DT long JJ linear JJ string NN . SENT If IN time NN is VBZ round NN , , if IN time NN is VBZ an DT ocean NN , , then RB something NN that WDT happened VVD 500 CD years NNS ago RB may MD be VB quite RB immediate JJ and CC real JJ , , whereas IN something NN inconsequential JJ that WDT happened VVD an DT hour NN ago RB could MD be VB far RB away RB . SENT Think VV of IN time NN as IN an DT ocean NN always RB moving VVG . SENT What WP is VBZ interesting JJ to TO me PP about IN Einstein NP and CC post VV Einsteinian JJ physics NNS and CC some DT of IN the DT discoveries NNS in IN particle NN physics NN is VBZ what WP they PP have VHP discovered VVN about IN the DT nature NN of IN time NN . SENT The DT curvature NN of IN time NN in IN space NN . SENT So RB I PP grew VVD up RP among IN people NNS whose WP$ experience NN of IN time NN is VBZ a DT bit NN different JJ . SENT In IN their PP$ sense NN of IN time NN 500 CD years NNS is VBZ not RB a DT far JJ distance NN and CC that's NNS why WRB there EX is VBZ no DT need NN for IN the DT reinterpretation NN . SENT That DT passage NN of IN time NN doesn't NN mean VVP the DT same JJ thing NN to TO us PP as IN it PP might MD mean VV in IN a DT culture NN where WRB the DT people NNS stretch VVP the DT string NN out RP and CC say VV Oh UH , , this DT was VBD a DT long JJ time NN ago RB . SENT That DT is VBZ not RB the DT way NN my PP$ people NNS experience NN time NN . SENT So IN the DT wisdom NN of IN story NN telling VVG doesn't JJ need NN reinterpretation NN , , doesn't JJ need VVP the DT making VVG up RP of IN new JJ things NNS . SENT No RB , , not RB at IN all DT . SENT I PP was VBD waiting VVG to TO come VV over RP here RB because IN I PP am VBP very RB interested JJ in IN the DT pre NP Christian JJ traditions NNS in IN Germany NP and CC the DT British NP Isles NP , , very RB interested JJ in IN what WP the DT people NNS were VBD like JJ before IN the DT Christians NNS came VVD up RP here RB . SENT Because RB , , in IN a DT sense NN , , there EX are VBP many JJ similarities NNS . SENT I PP am VBP not RB trying VVG to TO say VV it PP is VBZ the DT same JJ but CC , , perhaps RB , , there EX are VBP some DT similarities NNS of IN what WP happened VVD with IN the DT tribal JJ people NNS that WDT were VBD once RB here RB , , the DT people NNS that WDT were VBD so RB close JJ to TO the DT earth NN and CC the DT trees NNS . SENT And CC then RB Christianity NN comes VVZ in IN the DT same JJ way NN it PP came VVD to TO us PP . SENT There EX is VBZ an DT old JJ story NN from IN the DT British NP Isles NP about IN a DT white JJ cow NN , , the DT magic JJ cow NN , , and CC she PP would MD give VV enough JJ milk NN to TO take VV care NN of IN the DT people NNS . SENT They PP must MD never RB take VV too RB much RB . SENT So RB then RB when WRB a DT witch NN comes VVZ with IN a DT bucket NN with IN holes NNS in IN it PP and CC keeps VVZ milking VVG the DT cow NN and CC takes VVZ too RB much JJ , , and CC then RB the DT cow NN goes VVZ away RB . SENT This DT is VBZ an DT old JJ folk NN story NN from IN England NP . SENT What WP is VBZ it PP telling VVG us PP . SENT Not RB to TO be VB greedy JJ , , if IN the DT cow NN is VBZ symbolic JJ of IN the DT natural JJ forces NNS . SENT There EX is VBZ a DT wisdom NN in IN these DT old JJ stories NNS and CC it PP is VBZ no DT accident NN that IN film NN makers NNS and CC novelists NNS have VHP used VVN archetypes NNS out RP of IN these DT old JJ stories NNS because IN that WDT is VBZ the DT wisdom NN . SENT So RB even RB now RB , , in IN film NN and CC literature NN deep RB down RB underneath IN , , these DT old JJ stories NNS still RB stay VVP with IN the DT people NNS . SENT Christianity NN has VHZ tried VVN continuously RB to TO make VV fun NN of IN them PP , , to TO devalue VV them PP , , to TO laugh VV at IN them PP . SENT Also RB , , one CD of IN the DT reasons NNS I PP was VBD interested VVN in IN coming VVG to TO Germany NP is VBZ because RB so RB many JJ Germans NNS have VHP been VBN interested VVN in IN Native JJ American JJ culture NN . SENT I PP wonder VVP why WRB , , why WRB . SENT Because IN I PP think VVP there EX is VBZ an DT old JJ longing NN and CC not RB so RB much RB has VHZ been VBN lost VVN either RB . SENT You PP cannot NN stop VV it PP , , the DT land NN speaks VVZ to TO you PP . SENT This DT is VBZ maybe RB the DT reason NN for IN the DT emergence NN of IN the DT Green NP Party NP from IN here RB , , you PP must MD not RB be VB so RB quick JJ to TO think VV that IN some DT of IN the DT old JJ things NNS are VBP not RB here RB anymore RB . SENT But CC in IN your PP$ novel JJ Almanac NN you PP have VHP a DT character NN say VVP that IN the DT German JJ Green NP Party NP could MD also RB stand VV for IN reactionary JJ politics NNS that WDT is VBZ driving VVG at IN the DT process NN of IN natural JJ selection NN , , a DT kind NN of IN ecological JJ biologism NN against IN the DT people NNS . SENT Laughs NNS . SENT Yes UH . SENT I PP have VHP one CD more JJR general JJ question NN , , please UH . SENT Could MD you PP tell VV us PP about IN your PP$ career NN . SENT It PP seems VVZ remarkable JJ that IN your PP$ beginnings NNS as IN a DT writer NN coincide VV with IN the DT revitalization NN of IN Native JJ American JJ culture NN in IN the DT U NP . SENT S NP . SENT in IN the DT 1970 CD s PP , , with IN the DT breakthrough NN of IN N NP . SENT Scott NP Momaday NP in IN the DT late JJ 1960 CD s PP , , with IN the DT politics NNS of IN self NN determination NN , , when WRB Indians NPS got VVD a DT lot NN more JJR attention NN or CC , , for IN example NN , , Indian JJ art NN , , like IN on IN the DT book NN jackets NNS of IN Ceremony NN , , went VVD into IN the DT museums NNS . SENT Could MD you PP please VV contextualize VV your PP$ own JJ biography NN . SENT It PP was VBD a DT kind NN of IN renaissance NN , , I PP suppose VVP , , actually RB , , in IN the DT 1930 CD s PP there RB was VBD a DT novelist NN , , a DT Flathead NP Indian NP named VVD D'Arcy NP McNickle NP , , who WP published VVD some DT novels NNS then RB . SENT It PP was VBD a DT brief JJ moment NN of IN hopeful JJ liberalism NN but CC it PP quickly RB disappeared VVD because IN of IN the DT war NN and CC everything NN . SENT It PP is VBZ difficult JJ to TO pinpoint VV why WRB but CC , , perhaps RB , , in IN the DT 1960 CD s PP , , around IN the DT time NN when WRB Momaday's NP books NNS got VVD published VVN , , there EX was VBD this DT new JJ interest NN , , maybe RB it PP was VBD not RB new JJ , , but CC people NNS became VVD more RBR aware JJ of IN indigenous JJ cultures NNS . SENT It PP was VBD an DT opening NN up RB worldwide RB , , there EX was VBD this DT interest NN in IN Asian JJ religions NNS and CC so RB forth RB . SENT It PP wasn't VVD just RB in IN the DT United NP States NPS . SENT That IN the DT Germans NPS are VBP interested VVN in IN Native JJ Americans NPS is VBZ good JJ for IN us PP in IN the DT U NP . SENT S NP . SENT Anyway RB , , this DT came VVD about RB and CC it PP is VBZ odd JJ , , it PP is VBZ just RB a DT coincidence NN that IN I PP would MD be VB starting VVG to TO write VV in IN this DT moment NN and CC Momaday's NP House NP Made NP of IN Dawn NP would MD be VB published VVN as IN a DT success NN . SENT It PP is VBZ hard JJ to TO account VV for IN the DT coincidence NN of IN time NN , , and CC it PP becomes VVZ even RB more RBR spooky JJ and CC strange JJ with IN the DT Almanac NN and CC its PP$ timing NN . SENT I PP think VVP it PP has VHZ to TO do VV with IN that DT shift NN worldwide RB but CC this DT was VBD for IN outsiders NNS . SENT The DT Pueblo NP people NNS , , for IN example NN , , whenever WRB forgot VVN that IN we PP were VBD an DT independent JJ nation NN . SENT The DT King NP of IN Spain NP gave VVD land NN grants NNS to TO us PP long RB before IN there EX was VBD a DT United NP States NPS , , long RB before IN the DT Pilgrims NNS ever RB settled VVN on IN the DT east JJ coast NN . SENT We PP Pueblo NP people NNS were VBD dealing VVG with IN the DT Spanish JJ government NN and CC the DT King NP of IN Spain NP , , we PP were VBD conquered VVN nations NNS but CC we PP were VBD still RB sovereign JJ nations NNS and CC they PP applied VVD international JJ law NN to TO us PP . SENT We PP did VVD not RB forget VV , , even RB though IN the DT Anglo NP Americans NPS came VVD from IN the DT east JJ coast NN of IN the DT United NP States NPS and CC stole VVD that DT land NN from IN Mexico NP and CC took VVD over RP . SENT Our PP$ peoples NNS , , we PP still RB always RB have VH the DT feeling NN that IN we PP were VBD sovereign JJ nations NNS , , and CC even RB though IN these DT ignorant JJ Anglo NP Americans NPS came VVD and CC tried VVD to TO treat VV us PP as IN some DT kind NN of IN lesser JJR human JJ beings NNS . SENT We PP knew VVD the DT truth NN and CC we PP already RB had VHD these DT relations NNS in IN international JJ law NN earlier RBR . SENT So RB we PP had VHD our PP$ pride NN innocence NN of IN nationhood NN or CC community NN , , and CC when WRB this DT interest NN suddenly RB came VVD up RP in IN the DT 1960 CD s NN it PP came VVD from IN the DT outsiders NNS , , the DT ignorant JJ Anglo NP Americans NNS that WDT suddenly RB let VVP us PP publish VV our PP$ books NNS . SENT But CC we PP had VHD always RB these DT other JJ feelings NNS , , from IN generation NN to TO generation NN the DT people NNS had VHD been VBN telling VVG stories NNS , , and CC Scott NP Momaday NP could MD not RB have VH written VVN that DT book NN if IN it PP not RB had VHD been VBN for IN the DT careful JJ nurturing VVG , , for IN the DT care NN of IN the DT stories NNS and CC his PP$ old JJ grandmother NN he PP talks VVZ about RB . SENT It PP is VBZ the DT same JJ with IN me PP . SENT We PP were VBD just RB waiting VVG for IN this DT and CC then RB the DT time NN was VBD coming VVG . SENT And CC now RB the DT door NN is VBZ open JJ , , is VBZ open RB wide JJ . SENT But CC to TO open VV the DT door NN I PP have VHP to TO thank VV the DT Germans NPS , , the DT Japanese JJ , , I PP have VHP to TO thank VV all PDT the DT rest NN of IN the DT world NN . SENT Because IN we PP just RB depended VVD upon IN Anglo NP Americans NPS and CC their PP$ attitude NN towards IN us PP . SENT Who WP knows VVZ what WP would MD have VH happened VVN to TO us PP . SENT In IN other JJ words NNS , , we PP feel VVP that IN we PP get VVP cultural JJ , , intellectual JJ , , spiritual JJ support NN from IN all PDT the DT people NNS outside IN the DT United NP States NPS . SENT So IN this DT renaissance NN , , in IN a DT sense NN , , was VBD helped VVN , , everyone NN participated VVD including VVG the DT Germans NPS who WP have VHP been VBN so RB interested VVN in IN things NNS Native JJ American NP . SENT There EX are VBP no RB isolated VVN people NNS , , there EX is VBZ truly RB now RB a DT global JJ village NN and CC it PP matters VVZ . SENT Almost RB every DT German JJ child NN grows VVZ up RP with IN stories NNS about IN Indians NPS and CC novels NNS about IN the DT frontier NN . SENT Of IN course NN , , there EX is VBZ always RB this DT double JJ image NN of IN the DT American NP Indian NP , , the DT noble JJ savage NN and CC the DT mysterious JJ evil NN . SENT This DT phenomenon NN certainly RB needs VVZ some DT psychological JJ interpretation NN as IN you PP say VVP yourself PP , , why WRB so RB many JJ people NNS feel VVP attracted VVN to TO indigenous JJ cultures NNS . SENT Have VHP you PP read VVN Karl NP May NP . SENT No RB , , I PP have VHP not RB , , but CC I PP heard VVD a DT lot NN about IN him PP . SENT So IN many JJ Germans NNS are VBP familiar JJ , , one CD way NN or CC another DT , , with IN American NP Indians NPS and CC some DT of IN their PP$ traditions NNS but CC not RB with IN the DT term NN you PP use VVP for IN them PP . SENT What WP is VBZ your PP$ definition NN of IN indigenous JJ people NNS . SENT When WRB I PP say VVP indigenous JJ people NNS I PP mean VVP people NNS that WDT are VBP connected VVN to TO the DT land NN for IN , , let's NNS say VVP , , a DT thousand CD or CC two CD thousand CD years NNS . SENT But CC of IN course NN human JJ populations NNS were VBD always RB moving VVG , , moving VVG , , moving VVG , , and CC if IN it PP is VBZ true JJ what WDT scientists NNS say VVP that IN the DT mother NN of IN all DT of IN us PP is VBZ from IN Africa NP . SENT We PP all RB spread VVD from IN Africa NP . SENT I PP use VVP that DT term NN because IN I PP like VVP to TO think VV about IN people NNS all RB over IN the DT world NN . SENT If IN I PP just RB say VVP American JJ Indian JJ or CC Native JJ American NP that WDT is VBZ precise JJ and CC that WDT pinpoints VVZ what WP I PP am VBP talking VVG about RB for IN the DT moment NN . SENT But CC my PP$ interest NN is VBZ in IN people NNS that WDT were VBD connected VVN to TO the DT land NN , , indigenous JJ all RB over IN the DT world NN including VVG in IN Europe NP . SENT The DT idea NN is VBZ if IN you PP were VBD born VVN sure RB you PP have VHP a DT place NN in IN this DT world NN . SENT So IN everybody NN is VBZ indigenous JJ . SENT More RBR specifically RB , , I PP mean VVP it PP to TO apply VV to TO populations NNS who WP have VHP been VBN connected VVN to TO a DT land NN for IN at IN least JJS some DT thousands NNS of IN years NNS . SENT You PP can MD see VV similarities NNS in IN some DT of IN the DT struggles NNS of IN indigenous JJ peoples NNS in IN Africa NP , , in IN the DT Americas NPS , , in IN Asia NP . SENT But CC then RB , , if IN you PP go VVP back RB in IN time NN , , think VVP about IN ancient JJ people NNS here RB and CC how WRB the DT outsiders NNS came VVD in IN and CC brought VVN in IN this DT other JJ religion NN and CC began VVD to TO destroy VV the DT tribal JJ organization NN that IN the DT people NNS here RB had VHD . SENT That's NNS why WRB I PP think VVP , , maybe RB , , the DT young JJ Germans NNS have VHP this DT interest NN . SENT Maybe RB it PP is VBZ not RB about IN us PP . SENT Sometimes RB things NNS appear VVP to TO be VB about IN another DT culture NN , , but CC maybe RB this DT phenomenon NN is VBZ really RB about IN this DT culture NN , , that IN there EX is VBZ some DT need NN that IN human JJ beings NNS had VHD .
