FOUR MORE YEARS
A new section, which will begin to appear in this space soon, concerns the fact that George W. Bush has won reelection. Native people, the world over, have a view of that circumstance. I plan to express that view. A small start: "Coyotes have been entrenched in the D. C. suburbs for years, and reports of their arrival in the capital have been building for months." (D'Vera Cohn, Washington Post, November 5, 2004, B01) In fact, coyotes have been in the capital for at least 500 years. As Simon J. Ortiz (Acoma Pueblo) has observed: "Coyote, he's always somewhere before you."

At every turn in this document the issue of harmonics either underlies or surfaces in any distinction drawn between Eurocentric and native American discourse. I never use the term loosely or arbitrarily. I always mean it in a mathematical and geometrical sense. Exactly what I mean by harmonic can be seen in two discussions: Maya Calendrical Harmonics and Geometrical Harmonics. An assumption here, of course, is that the Maya speak for all native Americans in the same way that the Greeks speak for Western Civilization.
