Moe, what a pleasure to read. I hope your descendants delight in and ponder the beautiful way in which you live your life in harmony as you do the life of your grandmother and the Ainu. I like to believe our heaven will include a resurrection of perfected culture as well as body.
What a beautiful reminder of how we should respond to our aboriginal people everywhere. Coming from Canada's west coast I feel the loss of the traditions and legacy that this author has so sensitively and longingly portrayed
I'm returning to this essay as I'm visiting the Pacific, the land of my ancestors, for the first time in many years. I find myself caught in the same cultural currents so well described here and I'm glad to have a fellow traveler to help me think so beautifully about that!
