What the hell is a Native American Indian? Someone who is both an Indian and a Native American? As far as I'm aware, there isn't and has never even been a full blooded Native American in Congress nor has there ever been a Governor of Native American ancestry in this country.

It would be interesting to see a pure Native American elected to the Whitehouse, but I don't know if it will ever happen.
Saying that though, just about everyone over here has Native American in them, my family(due to my Grandfather) has Cherokee, which really isn't anything special in the Mid-West.

tt, Indian reservations(from what I understand) are not subject to the same laws that evrryone off them is, they have their own laws and own LE.

Only a few Native Americans served in Congress. None of them were full blooded, unless Tom Cole is a full blooded Chickasaw Native American.

We can only hope and pray!!! and wiith the right one, and divine guidience from "The Real Power or Powers" that be, America and relations with the whole world could change and it would be in balance.
Remember how it was before they were F*ucked. They had thier battles, but nothing like the greed and lawlessness we have now. For the most part there was harmony and balance.
I just don't know if you can replicate the past without a nuclear war and decimate life as we know it, just enough to the point where you get back to the basics where people have to work as a whole for human survival.

If Winston Churchill (part Iroquois) can be the Prime Minster. Then anything can happen.
At least we have a Hawaiian (Obama born and raised in Hawaii) in the White House.
