For 150 years. The Europeans, European settlers, I would just call them Euro Americans, they were living side by side with Native Americans. Now, I live in New Mexico now. So I'm very blessed that I have ample opportunity to interact with Native people. But back then, it was like 100 times more, more likely that you would be encountering native people all around you, you know, and that was, and so that occurred. And often, you know, too often in history, people talk about colonization, as if it was a one, just as a one way event. And the reality is, although, in the long run, it did turn out that colonization was tremendously destabilizing and tremendously debilitating to Native Americans, for a very long time, really up for 200 years, for 150 years leading up to the formation of the Union. And the first 50 years of the United States of America being formed. Native populations were relatively stable. And they were very much interacting with the colonial settlers on a nation to nation basis. And they were critically important to the founding of the country in so many ways, because, you know, whenever you have cultural interchange, it's not one way. It's not that the Europeans were all of the Enlightenment mentality, and they convinced the native people to be that way. Not at all. The native people showed a different kind of way of living, to the European settlers. And Ben Franklin famously said, and you have to apologize for the the choice of his words, but I want to explain that too. But he said, he said that any any European that has tasted savage life, will never go back to our way of living. And that sounds like a completely racial slur. And perhaps it is, but it also is an indication of the word the way the word savage changed in history. So you know, 200 years ago, or 250 years ago, that were really meant only wild and untamed, wild and untamed. And so it wasn't necessarily a complete racial slur. It was obvious to the Europeans, that native people were more comfortable in the wild, they were more. If you look at the very origin of the word wilderness, in in European languages, it has it's a separation between human and nature and the wild is something to be afraid of. But indigenous people don't really think like that. The wild is a place of blessing and wholeness. And that's actually at the core of a difference.
