I guess because I studied so much history, I might have a little more appreciation for that sort of thing than the average person, but really, I'm sure I've forgotten a lot of what I learned. Maybe if I had become a teacher, which is what I planned to do, then what I learned might have been anchored in my memory, but I didn't so it's not there anymore.
Can't say that I know much about the Native Americans. I've seen those long houses in books and I think the Native Americans that you are talking about might have belonged to what was referred to as the Seven Civilized Tribes or something like that?
My older brothers used to have a collection of artifacts from a tribe that lived in this area called the Caddo. A river here in Arkansas is named after them and a parish down in Louisiana was named after them as well as a lake.
