"The Sacredness of the land lies in the minds of its people.
This land is dedicated to the Spirit and memory of the ancestors and their children."

This is about rock piles and stone mound sites in New England. A balance is needed between keeping them secret and making them public. Also arrowheads, stone tools and other surface archaeology.

A curious sentiment - that the sacredness of the land derives from human minds rather from the land itself. It seems particularly different from the Narragansett view (given my minimal understanding of that view) and seems to make the "creator" a product of solipsism.
ReplyDeleteCan this be right? Could it be a mistranslation? In the second phrase where the land is "dedicated" it seems more applicable to the stone pile and the monument than to the surrounding landscape.
