6. well Im both Iroquois and Cherokee mixed with British muck.

I have no idea who to relate to. And I LOVE the Navajo culture, and the fact that they have held on to it.

8. Mr Mulder....

and I am truly sorry for your ancestral loss. I posted this like an ass, largely because the loss of native american cultures in this country makes me cry on a regular basis.

9. Iroquois...

I've always admired those who lived in the eastern woodlands. I wish I knew more about the people who lived near me.
