 Hmmm... I'll have to think about that one. Initial reaction? That _kind_
 of thing _probably_ wouldn't happen around here. _Usually_ a group that 
ould
 want to put something "Indian" in their celebration would ask an Indian.

 not necessarily.

 Good job.  I suspect that around here some adults that were raised in a
 school that glorified the "dead white guys" would be shocked, too. Whenever
 I mention something from the books that doesn't agree with the myths, adults
 are usually "shocked."

 Actually, it would be a BIG mistake on the organizers part NOT to invite you
 back. But... If they don't want the truth and want to live in their
 make-believe world of fantasy, then there is probably little anyone can do.
