The Bearded Men

“Oh, let us grieve for They have arrived! From the East They came, the Bearded Men, the Strangers from the Land, the Blonde men arrived in these Lands!” – From the wall of the Mayan Museum in Chetumal

 

When we lived in the North of British Columbia there was a saying: “When the white man arrived, the Red Man had the land and the White Man had the Bible. Now the Red Man has the Bible and the White Man has the land.”
