    The worse is every year at Thanksgiving. The Native Americans in the North
    East who would have participated in the first Thanksgiving were farmers and
    hunters not nomadic and they did not live in Teepee, but kids bring home
    plenty of Teepees as part of "learning" about Thanksgiving

    No - none that I can think of - In the last five years we.ve only had local
    Missouri people speak at our conventions - I'm sure I;ll be corrected if
    I;ve
    forgotten someone
    But if accurate cultural representation is an issue and it should be -
    maybe
    our conventions should
    invite/hire people from a particular culture to present lessons. Would
    entail alot
    of research and probably money!!! Perhaps those artists from other
    cultures
    with
    a speakers bureau/organization could let us know who and what is available
    and how costly it would be. I can understand how different cultures can be
    offended - in
    the case of the Native American - how often do we see them represented by a
    teepee? As I understand that was used by a certain nomadic Native American
    and
    not all Native Americans lived in them. I;ve probably stuck my foot in my
    mouth now
    so will stop talking. Roberta
