Good for you! I like travelling on my own and have been abroad thrice on my own. Wouldn't do it here in my own country though!

I found that salmon-spawning loss very sad.I feel more respect needs to be shown world-wide ie. sculptures, plaques, acknowledgement with native spiritual losses, instead of such a gung-ho attitute in construction and progress (?). At least a Native American is given representation in the visitor centre, to explain.In my state of Australia,many public functions and school asssemblies now acknowledge that we are on "Kaurna land". It goes a small way in acknowledgement, but it's important.Thanks for presenting all sides with this fascinating construction story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-65723989685266644772009-09-03T16:11:03.731-06:002009-09-03T16:11:03.731-06:00Interesting photos of the damn and Native American...Interesting photos of the damn and Native American protests. Energy creation and water usage are good. Salmon spawning grounds lost is bad. When man changes nature, there's always bad as well as good. <br />I like your comment on my post about "knowing" through blogging.Janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06509431336916594990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-74259333382044297562009-09-03T15:25:02.575-06:002009-09-03T15:25:02.575-06:00I think about the Indians when I hear them talking...I think about the Indians when I hear them talking about building that giant Dam in China. They are actually paying the villagers to destroy their ancient homes so that they can flood them.<br /><br />Thanks for the tour.Butternut Squashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703748547994069092noreply@blogger.com
