Yesterday, a woman came into the smoke shop and looked at my name badge.

Her: "Oh, Walking Bull ... is that your INDIAN NAME?"

Me: "Yes and no. During the early days of the reservation, when my people, the ones who survived the wars and smallpox, were being assimilated, they took the names of the men with families and assigned them as surnames.

You know, sometimes people make you want to become a hermit. I swear!

Or, in your case apparently, join AIM.

Well, the important thing is to keep educating. Because, what's the alternative? ;-)

P.S.
I don't think I'd ever actually associate myself with AIM in its current incarnation.

It's okay, considering most textbooks dedicate half a chapter to Native Americans ... and it's usually in reference to Christopher Columbus or John Smith.
