"Interview with the chief"
Introduction
I went on a journey through the World Wide Web with my little research ship to find out more about the cultures of the Native Americans. I then noticed that many of my questions arise from my own everyday situation. For example, I baked an East Frisian raisin bread and wondered whether Native Americans also bake a traditional bread.I believe that I get to know a person best when I share with them what defines and accompanies their everyday life. For me, these everyday thoughts, actions, emotions and the knowledge that this person combines on his life's journey are like a huge library and the older the person I'm talking to is, the more impressive this miracle of wisdom is. Every thought is connected to what was, the present, and every thought I finish is already part of the future when I look back.
I told my pen friend, who shares his thoughts with us here as EditorChief, that many people don't even know what a powwow is, for example, and that it's often the many small questions that concern me too. Then I got a letter that said: "I'll write you something about powwows!" In fact, yesterday I received mail from the USA with the following title
I then had to smile and thought the title was brilliant for a new section in "van Wattlüü and Indioners".
So I immediately put the idea "interview with the chief" into action.
