Excerpt "The Ainu and Melungeons

Ancient People, Startling Histories

One of the best things about being a reporter is that I get to indulge my curiosity. But this is a local news source; it’s not always a place where you can indulge interests outside the Flathead, which is why I spend some of my non-working hours (ahem), learning about a subject in which I find myself increasingly interested: obscure and sometimes marginalized ethnic groups, like the Melungeons or Ainu people."

"Even the native Indians claimed not to know who the mound builders were. Some recalled old legends that their ancestors had conquered and ousted an ancient evil civilization which had dug for copper and built mounds."
