Amerind Artifacts

When I was a child, roaming the wilds of central Texas, it was not unusual to stumble across an arrowhead laying on the ground. Always a surprise, as if God was thumping me on the head, "Look here boy, this will give you something to do!", and my mind would immediately start conjuring up a new adventure with my Indian prize!!! Stone points are the oldest man made collectibles and have withstood the test of time. Thousands of years and all of Mother nature, could not erase the past completely. They are now viewed as art, but when made, there purpose being that of sustaining life. All the surface points have for the most part been found. To find one now, you have to dig for them. The Amerind camps, where they were created have been covered by mother nature under layers of dirt and decay. When I do get lucky and find one. My first thought is, "I am the first person to have touched this since the maker, several thousand years before!" My imagination runs wild at all the possibilities involved with my new find. It brings me closer to my wild side, the predator in me. We all have it, it has just been forgotten by most because of the super civilized world in which we now live, but it is still there! We are compelled by instinct to feed our predatory nature, just as the well fed domestic cat still hunts mice, it is driven by instinct. It is a normal, healthy, and important part of who we are as human beings. It is only when this instinct is ignored or pushed aside because of liberal opinions or utter laziness, do problems occur. We now have generations of people that place very little value on life, especially the lives of others, because our society hides from death. Life can only truly be appreciated if we can experience the finality of death. There is only one right way in which this can be done and that is the HUNT. A person that has killed an animal for the purpose of providing sustenance for his body, understands the entire process and has a much deeper appreciation for all living creatures. There is nothing that impacts the soul more than to end the life of another living creature and therefore it must be done for only the right reason. It is a fact that each living thing draws life from the death of other living things. No matter how skewed our society has become, that is how the world turns, like it or not. Those who choose to embrace and take part in that process, are the most well rounded people I have ever met. They are always the most understanding and compassionate of our people because they have dropped blood to this earth not much different than our own and have seen it rise again, they cant forget, it is etched into their soul. The people who ignore our instincts, who put animals on the same level as people, who would rather let someone else provide for them, are the reason we have children killing children without a care, why our prisons are over flowing with atrocities against mankind, why we are at war and will always be, because we forgotten who we are!!! It is time we get off of our asses and start taking care of our own lives by our own hands and in that we will all be better off.
