As a Native American, member of a recognized tribe, I am thankful and deeply appreciative of your blog and in-depth knowledge. It's no mystery that our experiences are akin to Hispanic people. We share a broad girth of skin tone, some still speak their non-English language, and we stay true to our community's beliefs, customs, and traditions. Our men - and women starting in WWII - went to wars starting before the Revolutionary War on behalf of America - the dream of America. Thank you for the exceptional histories and memories. George Tomer, Tribal Elder
