When I was growing up I lived in a very white community and had only heard of indians in the context of pocahotas (sp?). So anyway when I was about 6ish I got ill and my mom took me to the doctors and before we went in my mom thought it would be a good idea to tell me about the indian nurse I was going to be seeing. When I walked in I was a little confused and when the nurse walked over to her desk I asked my mom 'where's her feather?'.
