#Paul Revere and the Raiders – Late Boomer's Den

This fits the theme at any rate. I read a book written in Spanish (that was hard!) about Spain’s relationship with the Native Americans. Really cool book. Kind of cool to get a look at that time from a Spanish speaker’s perspective. I’ll blog about it soon.

I wanted to pass along a story my parents told me about living in New Mexico in the early ’60s. They were watching an Old Western one day and a crowd of Navajos were in the theater.

They were there because a local elder was playing a chief making peace with the white man.

Whenever he made a speech, the whole theater would roar with laughter. The caption was in stereotypical broken English. A Navajo friend told them later, he was actually insulting the white man in Navajo.

I’ve always thought that was hilarious. Get your digs in when you can 🙂
