The Naming of America.
The renaming of the world. As far as I know, god didn’t name America nor Mexico.The name chosen for America, it is said, comes from Amerigo Vespucci, a lessor Italian explorer who never does set foot on the soil that claims his name. His fellow countryman, Christopher Columbus, of course, never sets foot on amerigos namesake property either. They named this place America because this man named Amerigo looked at a crude map drawn up by hundreds of other explorers sailing out into the unknown and like a bunch of blind Pygmy’s climbing around on a dead elephant, describing what they believe this world is and called it after himself, like Yahweh who supposedly made Man in his image, only to erase his own image. Amerigo, being a mapmaker, put it on maps historians doubt he ever went to. They went on to name themselves, name everything within that name, from rivers to quarks, from mountains to viruses, and most of all, making sure everyone had a name they could put a stamp on, which said we own you.
So, what happens when coyote wakes up and hears Men have renamed everything. It’s going to be pissed.
Rabbit Boy says, they, the smart boys of the Eocene period, started renaming everything and once they named something they made it theirs, they took away its freedom a little at a time. They colonized the name, gave it a time and a place, they put up a fence or a wall around it or a cross claimed it and it was theirs. Possession, they say is nine tenths of the law, the other tenth is a good gun. Not like when you, Coyote, saw in the dreamworld we all needed to be called something so we could see ourselves as something, not so others could tell us what they saw in us.
Eocene Epoch, second of three major worldwide divisions of the Paleogene Period (66 million to 23 million years ago) that began 56 million years ago and ended 33.9 million years ago. It follows the Paleocene Epoch and precedes the Oligocene Epoch. The Eocene is often divided into Early (56 million to 47.8 million years ago), Middle (47.8 million to 38 million years ago), and Late (38 million to 33.9 million years ago) epochs. The name Eocene is derived from the Greek eos, for “dawn,” referring to the appearance and diversification of many modern groups of organisms, especially mammals and mollusks.
