Description
Popular awareness that one difference between Native and non-Native people is to be found in the difference linear and cyclical time. The author reviews Seneca concepts of time and finds that they more closely parallel English ideas than the language by itself would indicate. Both objective and subjective determinants of time are culturally manipulated.
