He's not on line yet. The modern-day historians are often behind time.doh

Yea, they told us that in school. But funny, in my mothers tongue they have slightly different names. The American variety is called an 'Indiaan' and the Asian version is called an 'Indier'. No confusion; see. grin

But please note that no Native American was hurt during the production of this blog. Nor did we venture onto their hunting grounds.

The Indians did the scalping but the Army did the massacre.
