Is it a such a sin in America to suggest to an Indian to bury the hatchet?

Yes. That phrase is considered offensive by many Native Americans.

What you might want to suggest instead is to have powwow and smokum peace-pipe.

Really? Or are you making fun? I think it's beautiful. If someone can fall on a sword, why not bury a hatchet?

But one forummer there DID say that what I posted was offensive more as a matter of style than content. But that is ridiculous!
