This appeared in the July 4th, 05, New York Times, probably written by an Amherst professor. It's radiant with learning about how we learned even more about freedom from the American Indians. Note to "HAIR" graduates: read the end where the author says that even to this day, people in far off lands don American Indian garb and make-up when protesting for freedoms!
