At the Smithsonian Castle, its "America's Treasure Chest" exhibition features a display of the footwear created by different Native American tribes. It honors a heritage that continues in the face of gnawing, convenient modernity.
It also brings to mind an adage attributed to Native Americans, the one that discourages judging another individual until you've walked a day in their shoes- or mocassins...
May this New Year bring us all a sense of belongingness, and bring us all towards a sense of equity and fairness.

Quite a beautiful chest with the display of the amazing footwear worn by the Native Americans. And a very nice you've attached to it that one need to walk into other shoes before judging them. Thats very true and Wish you a very Happy New Year 2012
