Description

Plenty Coups, last great Chief of the Crow Nation, said, “When the buffalo went away the hearts of my people fell to the ground and they could not lift them up again. After this nothing happened.” In Lear’s view, this story raises an ethical question that challenges us all: how should one face the possibility that one’s culture might collapse?
