Our sense of selfhood and our sense of history are interdependent conditions of identity. Since the memory of history empowers both social identity and a sense of self, in our remembrance of the past we do more than look back at where we have been. We look back to see the paths of selfhood that have given form to our identities today. This process of self-awareness helps us to envision our future selves, our aspirations, our hopes. And so the more complex our sense of history becomes, then the more complex our sense of self becomes, and the more options we give ourselves for the future. I am Roger Echo-Hawk. I long ago earned several degrees in history from the University of Colorado, and for many decades I have dwelt north of the Mountain Where The Heavens Touch The Earth. Welcome to Pawneeland!
