With only a couple, maybe three exceptions, all the flyers aboard the Space Shuttle flights have been native Americans.

The above news story is about an indigenous native American, about whom our ancestral terminology has referred to as American Indian.

By the way, the terms "chief" and "warrior" are not native American expressions originally; they formerly derive from Scotland and various other parts of mainland Europe.

The Air Apaches of the U.S. Army Air Forces flew in the worst of Southwest Pacific Theatre conditions, and however they chose, as have many before and since chosen, to "gear up" for combat by donning war paint.

We still do.

Only the fussy-dom of fascist-socialism that is destroying the Democrat Party, is uncomfortable with the superficial and therein they are lost.

Thanks for reminding us what it means to be a Native American.

Anyone who believes that it is a requirement of man's nature to be free and that the function of government is to protect his rights is an American at heart.
