you have.

Being Indian Is knowing to duck or hide when you see the cops from a mile away, even when you were a kid!

Being Indian Is being broke all year long because you try to make every Pow Wow, gathering, and ceremony.

Being Indian is to be asked constantly if you still live in tee-pees or ride horses every where you go.

Being Indian is knowing why the REZ car in "Smoke Signals" was funny!

Being Indian is knowing why in "Smoke Signals, " the line 'do you have your passports?" is funny!

Well, I ain't no injun, but I be married to one. Here's my own twisted Italian spin on this;

Being married to an indian means working your but off so she can feed anyone who comes to your door hungry.

Being married to an indian means explaining to the officer that they didn't run because they did something illegal.

Being married to an indian means not catching the game, because pow-wows and gatherings are always held where there is no radio reception.

Being married to an indian is knowing which condiments go best with frybread and soup (hot rock soup, that is).

Being married to an indian means, wait a minute. Do you mean to tell me that BC doesn't mean before Columbus?

Being married to an indian means taking the rap for all the missing stuff.

Being married to an indian means turtle necks never go out of style!

Being married to an indian means never knowing what happened to that fiver you left in your pants pocket.

Being married to an indian means developing an intense appreciation for one's own scalp.

Being married to an indian involves explaining to your side of the family that you still live in a real house and have a car.

Being married to an indian means taking her with you whenever you go to garage sales.

Being married to an indian means getting lost at family reunions.

Being married to an indian means having her friends laugh at you until their facial muscles hurt.

Being married to an indian means not bragging about being Italian.

Being married to an indian means not being too concerned about stray dogs.

Being married to an indian is confusing, especially the history and stuff.

Being married to an indian means never worrying when she stares into space and begins speaking to the wind.

Being married to an indian means never having to say they're sorry.

Being married to an indian is AWESOME!!!

ROFL!


Oh man, those are fun! hehehehe

Here are a few I would add:

Being indian means laughing at your white friends when they are getting ready to go to Hawaii and brag to you that they will come back darker than you are.

Being indian means being offered rides whenever you walk along side the road to the REZ because everyone knows where you are headed

Being indian means feeling sorry for the white person who just wants to ask you an honest, harmless question about your family history but isn't sure how to put it so that he won't get in trouble for not being PC

Being indian means being able to shoot off the really good fireworks

*Changes to Wooden Indian by John Denver on his Poems, Prayers and Promises album*

I, I was a red man
I was proud, I was strong
You were the white man
And you stole away my home

Now I am a wooden Indian
Painted dreams inside my head
Times a where you bring me down
And make you wish I was dead

Na na na

I, I was a red man
In my passing made no sound
You were the white man
And you drove me in the ground

Now I am a wooden Indian
Standing silent in the rain
Swear with my grandfather's father
We're going to rise again

Na na na

I, I was a red man
I was proud, I was strong
You were the white man
And you stole away my home

Now I am a wooden Indian
Standing silent in the rain
Swear with my grandfather's father
We're going to rise again

Words and music by John Denver
