2013-02-04 - Crowfoot (Isapo Muxika)

(More about Chief Crowfoot at the Aboriginal Multi-Media Society)

Most lists of quotations I find are pretty slim

on quotes by Native Americans and other minorities too

for that matter. This one I found in Terri Jean's

"365 Days of Walking The Red Road"

which I purchased at a Seattle powwow

and read from almost every day.

It's a keeper.

(More about Mark Twain at Wikipedia)

It's the most peculiar thing but, occasionally, when I'm writing,

it will come out in dialects old Sam Clemens used in real life

and in his books. He is, at least in my opinion,

the quintessential American voice. I think you'll enjoy
