The white man is still troubled by primitive fears; he still has in his consciousness the perils of this frontier continent; some of its vastnesses not yet having yielded to his questing footsteps and inquiring eyes. \u2026 The man from Europe is still a foreigner and an alien. And he still hates the man who questioned his path across the continent. But in the onkwe\u2019hon:weh [Indian] the spirit of the land is still vested; it will be until other men are able to divine and meet its rhythm. Men must be born and reborn to belong.
