Indian time

this term is pejorative only when it is used and meant to be so. Writer and activist Mary Brave Bird writes, "There is Indian time and white man's time. Indian time means never looking at the clock.... There is not even a word for time in our language." "From the edge of Indian time overlooking infinity, there is acute perception and perspective" (Pawnee/Otoe-Missouria writer Anna Lee Walters).
