Winter Readings: Native American Peoples

During the last few days,  a 2" blanket of snow has covered everything.  It has lingered for two days in the shady areas.  Nothing significant in terms of travel, and quite beautiful.  No outdoor work for awhile.  

I have been reading two books from the Fort Vancouver Regional Library, Three Creeks Community Library, in the Salmon Creek neighborhood of northwest Vancouver.  I request books online from the library, and then pick up the reserved books and browse at the nice Three Creeks branch library.  The Three Creeks Library is very close to my daughter's home in Salmon Creek.
