I'm reminded of a book I have. “If this is your land, where are your stories?” Edward Chamberlin asked in his book by the same name. This question carries with it the impact of a doubled-edged blade: Not only do the stories of a people define who they are and the space they possess, but the stories of a people are also the tools used to possess that space. The question of the book relates to some Canadian native Americans and the government was trying to take their land!

I hope your project and quest goes well! Tell us about it in the group. Thanks for joining, btw. Best wishes to you! STEVE

Welcome to this great site. We are neighbors - I live in Westford, MA! Hope you are having a great New Year so far (even with all our snow). Will you be attending Sharing the Fire Northeast Storytelling Conference sponsored by LANES? I'll be there. It would be nice to meet and chat. Take care and hope to hear from you. Best, Leeny

I'm glad to get to know you. Come home to visit sometime--the mountains are gorgeous any time of the year.
