The Indian Way - assignment 2/18

"A First American Views His Land", tells about the history of our land. The structure of the story is different than most. About every 2 pages, a poem consisting of one or two word lines is inserted. I honestly do not understand the impact the poems are supposed to provide on the reader. I liked how the beginning explains human's changing views of the land and its uses. I find it interesting how Native Americans find a hard time comprehending the fact that we put ownership on land. I admire the way Native Americans view the land because I don't think any of us could feel as connected to it as they are.
