November is Native American History Month

There was a good segment on Bill Moyers last night about the broken criminal justice system on Indian reservations. Then today something about the Long Walk of the Navajos. It then occurred to me that November is Native American History Month. I don't know how much the significance of November has to do with Thanksgiving, but I am reminded of how three years ago I decided to spend Thanksgiving in the desert. The formations at Red Rock Canyon State Park were as spiritual as any human gathering, and this photo we took is among my favorites, so in retrospect it was worth it.
