p.s. Before the heathen Chinee traversed the Bering Strait and down through Canada to the tip of South America, my ancestors were formed into tribes.
The cavemen even had tribes.
American "indians" do not own the word.
Tribe....

Brings up a tale of lore, when we had a 4WD Ford Explorer meetup in Moab, Utah. One of the people there had a license plate, and I’m going from loose memory, but it was something to the effect of FUQARWE. He said that it was a plate that he had requested, and it was the name of an Indian tribe in his ancestry, the Fuqarwe tribe. The California DOT apparently bought the story. We all laughed.
