If colonists had paid more attention to the history of native people they might have taken more care when building on the west coast of the US.

There is evidence of stories dating back to the end of the last ice age with reasonable accuracy. While the stories referenced in that article don't seem useful to us, their accuracy indicates that other stories from the same people might contain useful information. It shows that it's plausible for 73,000 year old stories to be accurate. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
