We will see later winds, some sunshine, but light winds and the forecast. I will have all the details later on. Good morning. Its sunday, november 3.

We have been spending the week with an Amazing Group of educators from all over the country brought together under the auspices of the gulder Lehrman Institute of Early American History.

Theory the settlers believed the land they arrive to belonged to them and not the native people so they had a right to be on that land and the native people could be erased. Right, and that is a historical product. There may be some people who came to north america from europe or elsewhere with the idea in th
