I’ve probably been to some national parks when I was younger but I don’t remember. I did, though, go to something of the like on my trip to Israel last semester. As part of the program, we did weekl ...

From the way it was describing the different aspects of property ownership, I don’t see any way the English found it okay to swoop in and claim land that the Indians were calling their home. I don’t ...
