From adiscussion on Redbadbear =E2=80=93 worth posting given some of the wi=
ld criticismsObama is encountering on his good Cuban move:
Frommyself =E2=80=93 Hunter Bear:
I amamazed at your post, Ken -- and certainly the fact that you could drawp=
arallels between the democratic Cuban Revolution and its broadly beneficial=
outcome -- and Franco's Spain. That's purely surreal. Thisexplains in part =
why I am on the other side of a big Grand Canyon from you:
=E2=80=9CMyfather, (1898-1978), who, having left the Salter family at 15, n=
ever hadany appreciable high school work, was a gifted Native (Micmac/St. F=
rancisAbenaki/St. Regis Mohawk) artist who eventually received three earned=
 academicdegrees: B.A. from the Art Institute of Chicago and M.A. and M.F.A=
. from theUniversity of Iowa. Dad, at 15 years of age, was part of analtrui=
stic gun-running operation serving Mexican Indian revolutionaries (soonafte=
r the murder of revolutionary President Francisco Madero by the right wingm=
ilitary manipulated by the U.S. oil and mining interests) and spent, at tha=
tpoint, a good deal of dramatic time in Mexico in the service of the Revolu=
tion.He formed a very close association with Mexico which lasted throughout=
 his lifeand, in time, developed close relationships with a number of Mexic=
o's leadingartists. His last year of teaching -- following his retirement f=
romNorthern Arizona University -- was a twelve month stint at the Universit=
yof Guanajuato. His last completed oil painting just before hisdeath -- a l=
arge and wonderfully colorful semi-abstract -- is Los Locos:eleven costumed=
 Mexican Indian dancers. It hangs today in our living room inIdaho and a ph=
oto of it is at the conclusion of this Narrative.
My fatherwas always very much a Native man indeed. But no one ever pushed h=
iminto any stereotyped box."
