#palatines

Those of you in the 'States, based on your location, what nation would you be part of if you weren't United Statesian? 

My ancestors would have been immigrants to the Mohawk nation, one of the nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederation. 

What actually happened, apparently, is they were refugees who were shipped over by Britain for cheap labor in 1710 and some historical societies like to say the Palatines had a great relationship with the Mohawks of the time but... The way I figure it, even if that's true, that's just - in comparison to other white people, right? So…

Day 21 - The full-of-foramina ethmoid and the L-shaped palatines are the only skull bones you can't feel by touching your head or face.

The ethmoid forms part of the roof of the nasal cavity, and nerves (ethmoidal cells) associated with the sense of smell that passes through tiny openings in them. Portions of the ethmoid bone also form sections of the cranial floor, eye sockets, and nasal cavity walls.

Palatines form a portion of the hard palate or the upper surface (roof) of the mouth. They make up an important part of the eye sockets and nasal cavity. The bones of the palatine also give proper shape to the orbits, nasal cavity and oral cavity.
