| There's a bit of a book I'm writing on FictionPress, my screen name's Kaj Thresher if you want to look at it. I'm trying to decide whether or not to keep it in... I'd have to develop the main character's point of view more before I decide that. Thanks for the review, Rachel! I wonder if we could form an 'Indian Club' or something- like help out at reservations, dress up on certain days in support of the culture we helped destroy. I don't know, I guess I'm feeling a little guilty about it all sense we're on the Western unit in US History- Shayne and i were talking after class about what it would have been like if we had made peace with the Indians, and just let em live where they were. I guess I shouldn't feel too guilty, I'm 1/16th Native American myself (I can run a casino if I wanted to!!)... maybe it's why I feel this conection. I passed an Indian reservation in Canada, the houses where all slummy looking and I didn't see anyone outside. |

| 1010101 | Re:, 09-19-03 9:17pm Erm, sorry Kyle, but I think you need at least 1/8 Indian blood to recieve any money or scholorships (at least, the last time I checked it was that way.

| threshershark | Re: Re:, 09-19-03 9:27pm I knew I couldn't get a scholarship. But I CAN run a casino. If I wanted to. |
| 1010101 | Re: Re: Re:, 09-19-03 9:32pm Well, technically, anyone can run a casino... |
| threshershark | Re: Re: Re: Re:, 09-19-03 9:40pm No, you have to be at least 1/32nd, I think. Maybe that's just on reservations... |
Angel_Bob | 09-19-03 8:59pm Hey if you can prove that you've got Indian blood running through your veins you can get a free ride to college. Or at least pretty close to one.
