American Indians, Native people, Native Americans - somehow Thanksgiving is one of the times in the year when I hear the word 'Indian' most often (unless casinos or a sports team are in the news).

Which is no doubt why November is Native American Heritage Month. Though I can't say I've seen any mainstream (ie, not on a blog) PR for that this year. Have you? Maybe it's just me...

In any case, would you like to know more about Native American lives now, understand more about the past history, find out where they live, what they're working for, how they vote in your state? How easy it is for them to register to vote in your state?

Or have you wondered about the truth behind the myths of Thanksgiving? If you know about all that, ever wish you had an alternative curriculum for your local school teachers?

Or would you just like some conversation pieces for the family dinner on Thursday? Or a fry bread recipe?

Follow me over...
