passing as something other than Native American back in the day. I sure 
would like to know who!  I wonder what they would think if they knew 
that to their descendants it would be a source of pride not shame? And 
what a pity they felt they had to lie or hide"

Um, yeah, that's not the only way (or even the most likely way) it could 
happen, Tara. Think  about it (or ask Spike).
