According to my Mac computer, today is Native American Heritage Day.
So my question is, what aspects of "Native American" culture have been adopted by the larger culture?
Food? Nope.
Art? Nope.
Music? Nope.
Language? Nope.
Literature? Nope.
Weapons? Nope.
Agriculture? Nope.
Animal husbandry? Nope.
Architecture? Nope.
Science/Technology? Nope.
Religion? Nope.
Aside from a plethora of sports team names, and many Native Americans now object to being used, what is there that we can thank the indigenous people for?
If "we" are encouraged to celebrate our "Native American Heritage," what exactly is that?
