Perhaps costal natives were somewhat migratory, but the nearby Iroquis
Confederacy, an agreement between six permanently-located tribes, heavily
influenced the US Constitution -- hardly what I would call "a huge cultural
divide."
Wikipedia maps show that the tribes in the region generally stayed within areas
much smaller than a modern-day state. Calling them "migratory" is no more true
than calling an investment banker who regularly travels from Boston to New York
"migratory."
I think there was more malice and less misunderstanding involved than Chuck is
willing to admit.

FDA assertions that raw milk is "inherently dangerous and should not be
consumed" serve as a smoke screen for legislation that helps centralize the
dairy industry and eliminate competition from small independent farmers. -- Ron
