Matching game... This one is so easy. I probably should have made it a fill in.

2) Come from the deserts of the American Southwest. They are famous for their woven rugs and turquoise and silver jewelry.

3) A group of tribes who live in Alaska and northern Canada. Famous for their igloo houses made of ice and snow, but in the summer they live in tents made out of animal skins.

FYI - it is no longer politically correct to sit Indian Style. At school, children are now required to "sit like a pretzel".

Hale, out heah we still sit Injun style! What's wrong with that, y'all? By the way, what's a Native American? I'm from Montana, myself. Uh...in America, last I looked! Out here half the Indians still call themselves Injuns, although the whites are afraid to. Most of the so-called political correctness was caused by whites whose lives have been made so easy they have nothing but time on their hands to think up inane new rules to live by, or the handful of Negroes and other minorities with the very same problem. I thought we were just going to let people be people? Somebody stop that pendulum somewhere in the middle, would you?

By the way, Dell, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I haven't been in here in a long time, so I'm happy I happened by now. I've been remiss on getting in touch with most of my friends. That's the ails of the "Ebay season," as Debbie and I call winter time.

PS. Hello to everybody else, too!

So, by that, then, are we to believe Native Americans (you know, the people who were here before Columbus discovered America) are the only people who ever sat on the floor with their legs crossed? :) Hmmmm. Weren't Japanese people sitting like that for thousands of years? I might be a little offended if someone took over my land, and then, 200 years later, told everyone to sit on the floor like a Guinea-WOP. For everyone to meet on the same playing field, some of those stereotypes have to be re-defined. Hence, the politically correct phrasiology. (is that a word?)
Hale, you ol' hillbilly (I mean, man from Montana with limited mental capacity and exposure to socialization), I thought you already knowed that!
(Hey, I'm just kidding you on that last part)
