I have never met an Indian person who didn't somewhere deep inside struggle with anger and sadness at what happened to their people, and I have never met an honest and aware non-Indian person in America who didn't somewhere deep inside struggle with guilt about what we as a culture have done to the people who inhabited this continent before us. We can like each other, hate each other, feel pity for each other, love each other, But always, somewhere beneath the surface of our personal encounters, this cultural memory is rumbling.
