Isn't Niagara Falls near Bison New York?

 

It's really easy to tell the two buffaloes apart. If it stands there placidly, it's a water buffalo. If it tries to run down the jeep just to butt horns with it, it's a Cape Buffalo.

 

All I can say is "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo." You know what I mean?

 

What about Bison Bison Bill?

 

Anyone have a good recipe for Bison Wings?

 

Fried chicken wings, franks hot sauce and butter.

 

Recipe? Mine is very simple. Get in the car and drive to Buffalo Wild Wings.
I mean Bison Wild Wings

 

Buffalo schmufalo - it was an Indian Head when I was
stuffing them in the theater candy machine for a box of Good and Plenty 75 years ago and it still is to me.

 

You are right. But I am still going to call them Buffalo nickels.

 

He's dead I don't think it would matter to him.
Besides there were several chiefs profiles used to draw one composite .

 

I do recall during the 60's there was a game show on tv. "To Tell The Truth " .
The show premise was a panel of 4 well known stars guessing which one of the 3 guest were telling the truth about their specialty .
One show actually had all 3 native Americans Chiefs as guest and they stumped the panel because each was telling the truth as each of them modeled for the coin.

 

The funny thing about this is... (at least to me), that the US Mint referred to the as Indian Head Nickels. But the person on the obverse isn't from India. They are native American, and yet... NO MENTION OF THAT FACT IN THIS THREAD!!!!

 

Many of the local native tribes around here refer to themselves as Indians. I'm not sure if it's proper or not, but who am I to correct them? I've also heard several news reporters refer to black people in countries other than the US as African American; this makes no sense at all, but I never hear them being corrected.

 

Neither does Bison, New York.

 

I just figured that if he were setting the record straight (buffalo vs. bison) he should correct the entire record

 

I like how Canadians treat this. They refer to them as "the indigenous peoples of America"

 

So how many of you played "Cowboys and native Americans" as a kid? Or, maybe some of you grew up in Canada where you played "Cowboys and the indigenous peoples of America."

 

Did you happen to read the post above yours?
