Well, I agree to a point. Having been a farm boy you can't help but feel a closeness and responsibility to the land and the animals you care for. Its something sadly lacking in people raised on concrete and asphalt.

And yes, the BS about Indians wasting nothing is pure BS as well. Hell, my depression ancestors and before revered every single bit of food passed in front of them and they damn well made sure the oink was the only thing that got away at hog killing time. What pitiful few scraps we had were given to the stock for food.

And here's the bottom line. Indians had a use for every part of the buffalo but they didn't use it every time they killed one!
