Incredible adventures. For their time, it really was akin to exploring a whole new world.

Just looked it up. You are so right:
Cody was born as Espera Oscar de Corti in Kaplan, Louisiana, a son of Antonio de Corti and his wife, Francesca Salpietra, immigrants from Sicily, Italy. They had a local grocery store in Gueydan, Louisiana, where he was raised.
In some of his earliest acting credits, Cody was listed as Tony de Corti. Cody was drawn to the Native American people finding comfort/similarities for himself in their struggle. He later changed his name to Tony Cody, and from then on lived his life as if he were of Indian descent, both on and off the screen.
Cody married Bertha “Birdie” Parker, a woman of Native American descent, but his “Indian” ancestry was a complete fraud.
Really, we are the Aniyunwiya, my tribe anyway.
Hey, buddy. Hi haint got no effing problem no how!
:)
Were they ( the leftists ) not the ones who started this sh!t in the first place?????????? Now they are beating us over the head with the crapola!!!!
What if ole Chris had met up with Iroquois instead of islanders????
Useful idiots and socialism....
Friendship, Native Americana?
“Many theorize that syphilis mutated from yaws, a disease prevalent in Europe.”
It’s not clear, but if the DU’er was suggesting that syphilis came to the Americas from Europe, he or she is 100% wrong. Syphilis went from New World to Old, though it may indeed have its origins in Yaws (which itself was a New World disease).
The Indians suffered plenty of epidemics diseases from European explorers and colonists, but ‘The Syph’ wasn’t one of ‘em.
Hahaha, I laughed myself breathless on that one. Good call.
Home of the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association?
If the DUmmies are really serious about distancing themselves from Columbus and the EEEvil colonization that followed, they should, of course, hop on the next boat BACK to Europe and leave this land for the Indigeneous Peoples.
C.C. would have been DRT...lol
...or the National Bow and Arrow Association.
On a side note, I once read a history of New England that referred to wigwams as 'highly sophisticated brush structures'.
As a card-carrying descendant of Vikings, I understand that Vikings got here probably some centuries before Columbus. And then they went home.
They didn’t DO anything with that information.
I’m perfectly happy recognizing Columbus as the one that “discovered” America... and actually *reported* his discovery, and then changed the history of Western Civilization.
Our local public schools (Southern Ohio) don't celebrate Columbus Day anymore.
Its not politically Correct to dos now being he is a dead white guy who oppressed minorities.
I figure when Barney Frank passes on to the big pink bath house in the sky that we will nationally celebrate his birthday and school children will write essays on his inspiring alternative lifestyle.
Ah, I thought he was actually born in Sicily and immigrated to the US to be an Indian.... He was actually born in LA, interesting indeed.
Do you have a source for that? That would be very interesting if true. I just Googled, and this thread was the only result I got.
It was in more than one of my textbooks from University. Hang on a bit, and I’ll have a look...
