It's about time! :headbang:

i posted this thinking of you Shadowfax and your great knowlege of Indians[/siz]
 
tsk tsk... how racist can CNN be? The very term 'Indian' iteself is a misplaced moniker. They should be calling out the affected tribes by name.
 
I don't see any problem with the word. However, American Indian would probably be more appropriate because it could be confused with people from India.
 
I wonder

Could it have anything to do with the rail road company wanting to have use of a bit of the land.
 
Probably. Of course, the Native Americans will most likely really look over the contract carefully, as they remember, as a group, the last time they signed a contract for a land deal.
