I have alway's been interested in different Culture's than my own. I have just found this page and this blog and I want to learn all that I can. I have alway's admired the Aztec people and Mayan's and other Native people, especially cause I am Native American lady from Oregon State.USA. Thanks for having this to see and learn about.
