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

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).
