i am donald...i grew up in arizona...at 45, i decided to attend the university...{great story for the second am forum}
my ba is native american religion...a minor in anthropology...
my masters is in southwest history...with a focus in museum science...
i am an authority on race, class, gender, social, cultural, economic and other issues on the us-mexican border...mexicans, miners, indians, and mormons.
anthropologists study cultures, artifacts, and the people who compose these items.
if i ever complete a text, i can add several more letters to my name...
boy..do i sound stuffy or what?
i have a gift of seeing....people loose things...i walk over an pick them up...here? drop this?
there are few artifacts in the southwest that i can not identify...and if i can not, i have the skills to do some serious research on the subject...
while most people built families, i wandered the desert and basins, reading history and locating archaeological sites...and study them...not loot.
visit the dutchman forum to see the mountains i grew up in...many people post great photographs there.
have fun...remember...the feds owned land in arizona before it was a state, and havent released it yet...thank you teddy roosevelt for saving the grand canyon and other fantastic sites from development.
