[QUOTE="Rono, post: 1633548, member: 6492"]Howdy folks, Interesting discussion. I too am part native (i.e. 3/16 cherokee) and don't consider the nickel images to be politically incorrect at all. Indeed, I'm not sure I really like the idea of things being politically incorrect or not. It's a completely subjective and time sensitive definition. [COLOR=#ff0000]edited[/COLOR] How are people supposed to deal with that in their daily lives? Much better descriptions of what the white settlers did to the native americans. Much better descriptions of what the white settlers did to the bison. Actually, the extermination of the bison was meant to deprive the nomadic plains indians of their basic economic base (e.g. food, clothing, shelter) in order to subject the tribes. What was done to the native americans was brutal and ugly and technically an act of genocide. Nopers, you might say that the bison and indian on the nickels was ironic on an epic scale, but not politically incorrect. peace, rono[/QUOTE]
