Untitled From the Great Plains to the Great Frontier. We tend to think of history as the past just because that is the meaning of the word.
Historiography is, of course, the writing of history, or the study thereof.
As a historian I have to look to look to the future in order not to produce future shock. I live in a multiple and very complicated world. As a historian, I live in the past, while not so much that I don't look to the future, while living here in the present. I live in a metropolitan area and deal with rural peoples and matters. I have talked about the romantic side of our Native Clans and Nations and I have talked about the romantic side of the Great American Desert over the past four years.
