All my life I have known Native Americans. By twos and threes, fours and fives; never many at one time. Out of a hundred or so, only four have fit the stereotyppical image. Especially one crazy bastard in Texas who hunted deer with just a knife. Last year I discovered I may be one eighth Nez Percé. It's impossible to be sure because the town where the records were was burned by Pancho Villa's men. It was abandoned, anyway. Probably most Native Americans are now just Americans. To give an example, the great Cherokee leader Sequoiah's father called him Willem Geis. He grew up speaking German, mostly; Cherokee to his mother. A few days ago I found out that five of my friends would qualify as Native by the current standards. And the point of all this is..... How many of you out there can say the same? I suspect the number is fairly high. Yes?
