Indian, Your post reminds me of something a comedian said a while ago. I forgot which one it was though.
He talking about people who talk about "foreigners" coming to America and speaking their native language only.
The saying he was referring to was, "If you can't speak the language, get out of the country"
His reply was, " This doesn't sound like Iroquois to me"
Too many people forget that this land was inhabited long before any, as you say pale people, came here. My friend, who is Native American, did an awesome oral presentation at school about it after hearing that comedian saying that. He not only got an A+ but also got a standing ovation.
