__ What is History __ All histories have a history themselves, and one is incomplete without the other.

History promises to explain why things are and how they came to be this way. It teases us by suggesting that if only we possessed the secret knowledge, the hidden insight, or the relevant lessons drawn from yesterday's events, we could perhaps master the present. A history is always about who is telling the stories, who the storyteller is speaking to, and how both understand their present circumstances. -Paul Chaat Smith and Ann McMullen, National Museum of the American Indian, 2003
