Looking Back by Julia White

INTRODUCTION

Many papers, books and various writings are appearing about the indigenous peoples of the world — not only The First Peoples of The Americas, but all of the First Peoples around the world. I do not fault these writings. They are bringing historical data to the attention of the populace.

HOWEVER, while you will read about language groupings, migration patterns, wars, cultural impacts and other cold facts, you will find these intellectual efforts written with the same degree of insight given to any extinct species in history.

"Looking Back" is a series which began in 1993 in order to share the passions, customs and lifestyles of the First Peoples so that readers may understand what it was like to live in the early days. The indigenous peoples of the world are not extinct. They are living, breathing pages from history who struggle to maintain their homelands and to preserve their traditions, customs, heritage and ceremonies in the face of ever increasing encroachment from the "civilized" in society. It is to the living, in honor of the past, that "Looking Back" is dedicated.
