Indian Island?! I hope the Native Americans don't find out what you named
that island! ===========================

Jeffery, I wrote "Indian land," not "island."  I meant that gambling is only
allowed on reservations   Around here the word "Indian" is still widely used
among the tribes and is interchangeable with "Native American."  Yesterday I
saw a bumper sticker that read "Indian and proud of it."  A lot of official
terminology retains the "Indian" reference too (Indian Health Service,
Bureau of Indian Affairs, Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, Southwestern Indian
Polytechnic Institute, etc.).  I've worked as a consultant to the Navajo
area office of the Indian Health Service and have had quite a few
discussions about this, both with Natives and non-Natives.

Right now as I'm typing this I hear a radio commercial for the Indian Pueblo
Cultural Center.  And right off the Santa Fe Plaza you'll see the "Museum of
the American Indian."

A few years ago I was visiting the Jemez Pueblo and even saw some Jemez men
wearing Washington Redskin hats and t-shirts, so go figure. ;-)
