So the moose walked and walked away because he did not want to meet his people again. He felt so ashamed that he could not face any of his friends anymore. He thought again: I would become multicultural, never interecultural – share space with others, but never ever mix with them.

It's easy, only enjoy learning.
Alexie managed to pick the best in the white and the indian worlds – Let's try!
