I went to a 19-D (cav scout) short course in Texas for the National Guard. Part of the school was patrolling and in my squad we had a older guy reclassing like me to 19-D that was a Native American from Oklahoma. He had an uncanny ability to see anything out of the ordinary that just boggled the mind. Needless to say our squad "Smoked" the other guys pretty easily.

No one in American academia is going to believe this. They'd all be expecting the Native americans to support the destruction of all the non-natives. I was myself, to be honest, kind of surprised that the native americans felt any desire whatsoever to help americans, thought they'd be sympathetic to anyone who wants to murder white guys. Are you sure this isn't from some satire site. Hey unsung...could you flex your finger a bit....when you type America or American and captilize.....makes lot's of us on FR a lot happier.....Thanks....

For those interested in the Karankawa - there is an ethnological report done by a Harvard student back in the 1890s of an interview he had with the child of settlers that allowed the Karankawa to camp on his land when all others chased them away. She befriended them and got to know some of their language. I have a copy of that report somewhere in my personal files and keep meaning to transpose the document to upload onto the internet...but so far, its only talked about among Texas historians. I saw a copy of the document in the Fort Bend Museum some years back...was totally blown away by it.
Turns out the Karankawa word for 'pig' is madona - isnt that HILARIOUS? Would love to say that to a particular rock diva....heheheheheheheh

...the American militarys failure to hunt down Osama Bin Laden still at large on his 50th birthday yesterday Dear Tony Allen-Mills [Side bar: hyphenated last names for a man are effeminate. And if you aren't a man then...], you have no idea whether binny boy is alive or dead. So don't state something as fact that you are not sure of, it's sloppy journalism.

The Sioux and Lakota are the same. The Dakota are a separate but related entity. Lakota is the traditional name, whereas Sioux was the European name.

They may have the sense that America is really their country and worth fighting for. I'm just glad they do. I can't figure it out either but they're good people and deserve much better treatment than they've gotten in the past. My daughter-in-law is a Tlingit indian from the Yukon territory (they live in AK) and her family was treated very badly. Her mother and others in that family were put into boarding schools and it was not a good experience for them. Mxxx

You better not let a Lakota hear you say that. :-)

Good one! Hope OBL and Zawahiri have got the news and are preparing to meet Saddam! Like the Raid ad says, "You can run, but you can't hide!"

Many of my brothers in VN were Native Americans.
I hope you were being sarcastic.

Actually, it was meant to be an ironic statement. I was not trying to characterize the Indians as people you rejoice in american deaths, as oh, umm, let's say the **palestinians** *egyptians, saudis, jordanias, (you likely get the idea).
It was also indicative of my surprise that native americans, who to be perfectly sure have plenty of good reasons not to feel loyal to the amercian state, instead choose to. And meanwhile, the present day flux of illegals into america and the west, especially but not limited ot islamic areas, demand benefit after benefit offering only hostility and rioting in return.

Well I am and American with Sioux and Cherokee heritage, and with plenty of chest hair to boot.
So nothing personal to all my Commanche freeprs out there, but if you want a piece of me, I'm gonna get a piece out of you too :-)

The America Indian was incredibly adaptive. As soon as the horse re-appeared, he was on it.
As soon as he saw the Marlin lever action rifle, he traded every animal pelt he could produce to buy one.

But the Talibans resurgence in Afghanistan and the American militarys failure to hunt down Osama Bin Laden still at large on his 50th birthday yesterday has prompted the Pentagon to requisition them. Bizarre how events mimic storylines.
Requisition, indeed.

You would understand us better if you would stop for a second and realize that we are Americans too.
We are not all the hollywood and media leftist stereotype.
