Weds the 17th July 6:30 at (Paul's house) 509 NW 11th Street the People's History group is discussing Chapter 7. 

This chapter  is tied "As Long as Grass Grows or Water Runs.  Its about how the US grew as a colonial power and how that's still with us. Like with the previous chapters this is written with the perspectives of those below the power structure in mind. Its written giving respect to indigenous people's perspectives much like the previous chapters were written through the cultural eyeglasses" of the slaves, indentured servants, women and the working classes. 

In our discussions we're talking about the formation of the present day American mind set, the origin of many ideas, habits and attitudes included in our acculturation. Much of what we and our various people have been taught or condition to believe so much hasn't even been though through, has become so much the norm that its not even questioned. At least that's what some of us are starting to recognize.
