- White Culture:
- Materialistic, Individualistic & anti-Nature.
- White History Books:
- War-to-war time-lines, interspersed with intensive, great-man profiles.
- Colored History Tales:
- Peace is the natural state of humanity so war can never be the focus;
- particular stores are geographically- and temporally-located - hard to tell a story about a mountain in a desert or a story about the harvest during Winter;
- history is a series of cycles in which people learn something of value to community cohesion and survival;
- communal and democratic - what matters is how the people fared in a particular cycle, not how an elite individual distinguished themselves by wielding power over others;
- qualified Elders are listened to as they relay the many versions of each story.
