( I have seen Traces several times and have been blessed to hear Katrina Browne as well- each time has been a remarkable reflective and educational personal self-discovery journey- I hope the room is backed with students, teachers and everybody else- if anyone is interested in american history and american herstory this is the place to start.( just consider the fact that the european pioneers attempted to enslave the Native Americans first, then tried the indentured servant scheme, and then latched upon the idea of globalization -creation of the stock market-creation of the insurance industry-creation of world empires all at the human expense of the mother continent of us all!)
