yes!!! who are we to mock cultures and practices that have been in place for years and honored through generations. we have already pushed native americans and indegionus peoples to reservations and not given enough recognition that this was always their land. as of right now, there is already enough mockery and practical jokes made about native american culture that is highly offensive and disrespectful. lets start honoring the people here before us and making christopher coloumbus day and thanksgiving more about recognizing and appreciating native american culture and education ourselves. sorry for the rant :)
