John Francis Comment : LETTERS AND NOTES ON THE MANNERS, CUSTOMS, AND CONDITIONS OF NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS
Discussion: this is wonderful to know, a "bridge to past" . But we need to go beyond past, and live in the present, prepare for the future. You & other members of the "Men's Lodge" have received my pre-proposal template intro on "Forestry Jobs" by a focus on "Reforestation as an pragmatic passion" suitable for the Red Path.

Your comment most welcome on "Reforestation Now !" as "pragmatic passion".

My father scared me, though, ever since that time when I wanted to play little league and he played catch with me. This little poem speaks to it:

Thank you for the opportunity to participate with men in this Lodge. It feels that I only recently "shook off the snow" to greet Spring and now it's time for summer to begin!
