"A people without history is like wind on the buffalo grass." -Sioux Proverb
To my understanding of this quote, I believe that if we did not know anything about our history, we would not be a solid community. In saying that, I mean that without knowing our history we wouldn't be able to make things better for our future. As quoted by the Sioux Proverbs, we would be "like wind on the buffalo grass." That meaning we would live freely without roots to tie ends together, and without the ends being brought together we would be living a life with no reason.

I like your quote. I agree on what
you said about "living freely without roots", to "live without ends", it does seem that if we do have a purpose in life, but we also need to have the freedom to move into different things.
cool....=)

A tree can root itself and bare fruit in which birds consume and the droppings are spread elsewhere.
Furthermore, I think your analysis really pinpoints the criteria of the selected quote. I enjoyed reading it. Please keep on blogging.
