<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1633553, member: 12789&quot;]I, like Doug, have a unique perspective which I don&#039;t usually share - I am 9/32nd Cherokee - an unusual fraction since I get the ancestry from both parents&nbsp; I can remember as a kid in the 1970s when the AIM - American Indian Movement adopted the &quot;Indian&quot; from the nickel as one of their logos.&nbsp; Frankly it may not have been the case at the time the nickel was designed - but the fact remains that it&#039;s adoption later on by the AIM qualifies acceptance.&nbsp; In fact they use a variation of the 1970s era logo still, only adding feathers and colourising the design to yellow and red.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Really?&nbsp; The whole American story, be it good, bad, or indifferent is about the evolution of Liberty and our understanding of it.&nbsp; I know for a fact there were forward thinking people even in the 19th century that saw what was going on and thought it was wrong.&nbsp; At least African Americans had a couple of subsequently meaningless constitutional amendments after the Civil War to look back on as giving them something on paper if not reality.&nbsp; Native Americans weren&#039;t even recognised as US citizens until 1926.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
