What I find funny is how many people use the term 'Native American' here. I don't know about where you all live, but here in Minnesota, it's usually 'Indian' or 'American Indian,' or, preferably, the name of the person's tribe.

'Native American' is really sort of a silly term. I mean, my ancestors have been here in North America for generations, which makes me, my parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc. 'Native Americans,' even though I'm no Indian. Just wanted to make that point:)

Spaw, thanks for the info on the 'Blue Jackets.' I'd been wondering what the name meant. It's too bad they wimped out with the logo...
