I know that the Saami (sorry folks, I know you guys are tired of hearing
about this) survived better than most Europeans during the plague years
because they did not trade in wheat(which of course the rats and fleas
inhabited).  They did not trade for wheat because they did not eat
wheat.  Rye is used a lot in Scandinavian cultures over wheat, and I
love rye.  It has always satisfied my palate moreso than wheat, even
before I knew I was Finnish/Saami.  So yeah, I believe that genetically
I might have wheat issues...it all matches with the blood type theory.
I came to these conclusions a few months ago-that for me, it is worth
trying, and I am making substitutions and omissions.

The true significance of Sacajawea's involvement in the Lewis & Clark
expedition is that it was the first documented trip in history where men
asked a woman for directions and followed them, allowing them to arrive
at their destination.
