People have been here for quite some time, they’ve only been white for 500 years

Just because they aren’t traditional western style buildings doesn’t mean they aren’t there. These are only a FEW examples of the monumental architecture built by Native Americans in the US. The “prehistory” of America is as vast and varied as whatever is in Europe.

I think a difference in Europe is that they seem better at coexisting with their history - there are cities where you can see modern buildings next to ones from the Middle Ages. Our (surviving) ancient sites in the US aren’t in the middle of major population centers, which makes them easier to overlook. I don’t think that’s entirely a bad thing, preservation-wise, but it’s also not an excuse for forgetting they exist.

The fact that I didn’t learn about any of this until I was in my 30s and actively seeking this information in my own time is criminal.

“I didn’t have that much [happiness] as a child, so I didn’t get used to it or expect it, so it’s not like a habit where I need it. It would be nice to have it, though.” —Marilyn to Susan Strasberg in the 1950s.
