i have a question. haaland says she is 35th generation pueblo. [View all]
i dont question the depths of her roots.
but i am curious as hell to know if she really has the names of 35 generations of ancestors.
who is are the 1st ppl on that tree?
i mean, that's well over 1000 years.
as someone who thinks of herself as firmly rooted to a place, i am mostly jealous. i have traced back 5 generations in ireland, but i have people all over that island.
and i ended up in the u.s. but i am irish to my core.
i was raised to be proud of that, but until recently, in my 60's, i didnt know my history. so i didnt know what, exactly, i had to be proud of. now i know, and i have a lot to be proud of, including some amazing ancestors.
i think a lot about nomads v rooted people. it would take a truck load of tnt to get me off the spot that i am. i pray one of my kids ends up here when i am gone.
tho i did move away from my hometown, and moved a few times after that, i have been in this house for 35 years.
i feel like if my roots were that deep, i'd be 20' tall.
she seems 20' tall to me.
so, my question is, how extensive is the history of actual pueblo individuals?
sorry to ramble on when it is a pretty simple question.
