In El Paso, where I spent most of my life, the native American tribes had a strong presence in the community. They were responsive and easy to contact. When I started Symbiosis, I reached out to the only tribe I could find Through emails and calls. No one responded. I was hoping to learn more about native plants. The American Indians have a reputation of having a strong connection to nature and bison. Since the native Americans from the Coastal prairie were not able to respond to my requests regarding Symbiosis, I did not try again regarding Endangered Knowledge:The Soul if Humus. It was an intense year working on two huge works, I did not have a moment to think about the relationship between the native Americans and the bison. It was a year of treading water. This article from the Houston Chronicle paints a gorgeous picture of the connection of the Native Americans from the San Antonio area the Lipan Apaches. I would love to meet them, I have reached out. Stay tuned.
