Mine was in NE Alabama, not far from yours. Creek Indian.
My grandfather, although he was only 1/2 Indian, looked and lived a life like a full-blooded Indian (no beard, very red skin). He looked way more Indian than any of his other 10 siblings. Collected arrow heads, fossils, went rock-hunting for precious rocks and gems all over the country, loved finding all kinds of trees, and especially owls. Even polished rocks, had a huge massive collection of old US coins (that mostly had Indian heads on them), also was nuts over collecting exotic driftwood - he was an expert at finding the best ones on the shores of lakes. But then he was a severe alcoholic after going thru a divorce, but still a close grandfather to the family, welcoming us in his home and taking us out on rock/fossil hunts, to see caverns, almost every time we visited his home in the woods (old farm that he could no longer maintain).
The gov't should let Native Americans reclaim the National Forests across the US and live anywhere they want, for free. Of course, not cut down or burn too many trees, but there aren't many Native Americans left anyway, and it was their original home land, not the designated reservations on barren lands.

Ok with science that the big bang theory requires that fundamental scientific laws do not exist for the first few minutes, but not ok for the creator to defy these laws...
