I am from Massapequa (tribe name), NY (Long Island), and lived near Tackapausha Preserve (chief’s name). Massapequa High School’s nickname is the Chiefs.

The Great General Custer though it was too much trouble to tow his two Gatling Guns and a load of ammo along with His Mounted Troopers, left them to his backup formation which never reached him in Time, after he sent them on a wild goose chase . . .

interesting ?, the ATF says that a working Gatling is Not a Machinegun, (but a piece of plastic is) and requires no extra Tax Stamp to own.
New manufactured ones in .22 caliber are a Whale of FUN ?.

Note: My COLLEGE is called the Tribe, and was the first to admit Indians back in The 1690s….in the 1990s we fought and Defeated the NCAA when they wanted to strip the College of the name usage or ban the University from All Sports.

RZ:

I, too, am a Native American. I, too, choose not to burden my brain with the left’s attempts to burden the rest of us with their urges for power over everyone.

They won’t have me, and they won’t have my guns. The 2nd Amendment protects us from their ilk.

It’s kinda a Little Big Horn notion of power v. power.

There’s a guy I see once or twice a year at parties who is part Indian, I mean Native American, and very proud of it. One time I asked him a question about how Indians lived 200 years ago and he turned red and said with a tense angry voice “there are many First Nations Peoples who would be offended if you used the term ‘Indian'”.

Now it says “THE PUYALLUP TRIBE OF INDIANS” in big letters on the side of his tribe’s brand new casino in Tacoma:

I like the British term too: Red Indian. Makes sense given their default association being India. My wife is from Mexico and we’ve spent a good deal of time there. It’s always been fun to ask people about phrases that activists here say are derogatory toward Mexicans. Mostly we’d find actual Mexicans unconcerned with such. They were most offended by U.S. people calling themselves Mexican. It’s not a race but a nationality!

In reply to Jhon B. Jhon B: I am an native American, born in Brooklyn. I will not use the language of the left to disinherit myself from my own homeland. "American Indian" is clear and precise. They are also as native to North America as I am, their ancestors having immigrated here from Asia.

I get a lot of references to groups are now considered derogatory, but I just don’t get why you can’t use any reference to an indian when it is not. This is the kind of stuff that causes more hate than and creates new problems rather than solve existing ones.
