CONFUSION BECAUSE OL' CRIS C. DIDN'T KNOW WHERE THE HELL HE WAS. THEN CAME "AMERICAN INDIANS" TO PREVENT CONFUSION. THE ACADEMICS SHORTENED THIS TO "AMERINDIAN" WHEN IT SEEMED TOO UNDERSTANDABLE. THEN CAME "NATIVE AMERICAN", WHICH IN ENGLISH MEANS BORN IN AMERICA. THIS WAS POLITICALLY CORRECTED TO "INDIGENOUS PERSONS". ( IN SPORTS THE CLEVELAND INDIGENIES"? ) MY FAVORITE ANSWER TO ALL THIS WAS GIVEN BY OLD MAN RED ELK TO A SEMI-SMARMY MEMBER OF THE LAWTON PURPLE HEART CHAPTER WHO ASKED IF HE WANTED TO BE CALLED INDIAN OR NATIVE AMERICAN "WHY DON'T YOU JUST CALL ME COMANCHE." HE WAS A CODE TALKER IN WW II. |
