Hi, Sondra,

Right.  Nor does an interest in learning about Indian people, their
history, the history of Indian-non-Indian relations, issues currently
faced by Indian people, or, for that matter, going to a pow-wow and
buying artwork produced by an Indian artist.
 SB> I have a close female friend who is a very dark Italian and
 SB> who is the mate of an even darker Hopi.  (What is this Italian/Indian
 SB> thing anyway?)  
Hmmm, I don't know.  One of my good friends is Italian, Dakota, and
Polish.  I don't know that she would have any answers, either.
Take care,
Robin
