I work at a small French Indian Fur trade museum and at least once every
two weeks we get someone complaining that we share the Potawatomi creation story
and not the Christian one on the opposite weeks we get a Native group
complaining (and I believe rightly so) that a lot of our old artwork is done by
European Artists and really portrays the Native men as near starvation and in
need of saving. Its hard to keep a balance, The whole topic of early
European/American and Native American contact seems to leave some people
unhappy.
