I am going to share with my son in the morning :) I think all the Native American/Indians I knew when I was a child also referred to themselves as Indians - probably for the same reason (it is what they were called growing up). My maternal grandmother is half-Irish and half-Native American, and I think she uses the term Indian as well. <br /><br />I will have to share these things with him and discuss what it all means - he'll love it :) <br />Jessica https://www.blogger.com/profile/07750741589516318310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810423759943558521.post-22987478449134508072012-10-24T17:22:57.917-04:002012-10-24T17:22:57.917-04:00Funnily enough, we had a Native american come and ...Funnily enough, we had a Native american come and visit our school last year (yes, I found one living just down the road from us, in England!) and he called his people "Indians". One of the children asked him why, and he said because that was what he grew up with on a reservation. He must have been mid - late fourties in age. It made me laugh because I had been so careful to teach the children to say Native American and then he didn't use that term once!<br />Annicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691832473765718313noreply@blogger.com
