Native American

Famous quotes containing the words native and/or american:

    “A native health and innocence
    Within my bones did grow,
    And while my God did all his glories show,
    I felt a vigour in my sense
    That was all spirit: I within did flow
    With seas of life like wine;
    I nothing in the world did know
    But ‘twas divine.”
    —Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

    “We have yet to deal successfully with American transraciality in real terms, as we have failed to redefine race in light of the modern, twenty-first century progress of human kind.”
    —Virginia Hamilton (b. 1936)
