The first student to graduate as part of a Syracuse University full scholarship for Native American students got his degree last month.

I put some $4 gas in my truck and drove up into the New York mountains to ask folks about the upcoming election. I was surprised more than once..........but mostly I was surprised to learn how sophisticated their views were.

Durkee and his wife, Paige, live nearly four months of each year in near-total isolation in Kings Canyon/Sequoia National Park in California's Sierra Nevada Mountains--so remote they don't even have cellphone access. At the beginning of each season all their food is brought in by mule train, and it must last them until they leave camp in the fall. George was featured in the 2006 book "The Last Season" by author and journalist Eric Blehm (http://www.amazon.com/Last-Season-Eric-Blehm/dp/0060583002)
