And Don't Forget To Look Around You . . .

Photo by MarashGirl©2021 And when you do look around, if you see a flower that you've never seen before, one that you are unable to identify, take a photo of the flower and check it out at the following website: https://identify.plantnet.org/ [Marash Girl was most pleased to find a way in which to identify the flower in the above photograph . . . the Crimsoneyed Rosemallow, heretofore unknown to her!]

REMEMBERING THE FIRST PEOPLE . . .

Commemorating Indigenous Peoples Day, Marash Girl records the following memory. Years ago, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, when Marash Girl was conversing with a college classmate, a classmate who is a member of the Navajo Nation, her classmate explained to Marash Girl that it may not have been Marash Girl's people who took this land from the First People, but certainly immigrants like her people, and those before her people, that had taken this land from the First People. It is important to note here that at an Armenian dance, that very same college classmate, Marash Girl's college classmate, a member of the Navajo Nation, commented on how similar the simple Armenian "bar", or the"nehneh dance" as Katie, Caroline, and Alison used to call it (translated the "Grandma Dance") -- how similar that Armenian "bar" dance is to the Navajo line dance . . . Just saying . . . . . . . . . . . . . . N.B. Image above copied from "indigenous people.png"
