Progressive Camp Host???
He tells me it is a couple (the white, heterosexual understood) who are both nurses. They travel around the country, picking a spot where they want to be, and then find jobs.
Roy told me they worked on the Navajo Reservation before coming here. He said they left cause the Navajo didn't like white people.
When I jump in with "well yeah, of course. Can you blame them?" he surprises me by agreeing. I continue that I myself don't like many white people.
He shocks me by agreeing and telling me he doesn't like too many white folks himself.
He continues to talk about the northern verses southern Alabama whites, the Florida whites - their bibles, conservatism, hypocrisy that he's experienced.
He asks me if I've been to Crazy Horse's National Museum, which I haven't. He tells me you can buy lots of books there that will tell you the true history of native peoples.
He says we (whites) know our history cause we're taught it; but if you want to know Native history, you have to seek it out.
