Cotachatchee tribes no evidence before the tenth century of this era (291) Harsh reminder that human groups could become extinct. People are separated by language, custom, and country. [i]t seemts to me that once in your life before you die you ought to see a country where they don"t talk in english and they don"t even want to. (290) Disrupts the seamless image of sameness and continunity. Reminder that not everybody in the world is connected to eachtouther throught sameness.
