Visiting the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC my sister and I were admiring a beautiful tribal headdress decorated with eagle feathers. A man came up to us and identified himself as a Native American. “Do you know how those warriors got those feathers?” the man asked pointing to the headdress. “They covered a hole with brush and tied a live rabbit on top of it and then hid underneath. When an eagle swooped down for the kill, they would grab its wing or its tail.” “Fascinating,” I said. “You learned that from your tribal elders?” “Actually, no,” the man confessed. “I saw it on the Discovery Channel.”
When I was a kid we always played cowboys and Indians, and I was always an Indian. Today I have my own casino.
