Interesting.
Pre-conceived response to a loaded query?
"Cards are meaningless." "Skin color is meaningless." I mean -- come on -- how many fullbloods do we all know that are just shameful people (not dancing with/for them!), and how many caucasian-looking folk do we know that have done things in a correct manner (they DO exist)?
It is a case-by-case basis and anyone who indicates that some ordained banner of "overt Indianness" should preclude all strikes me as being inherently threatened, with little understanding of their identity as a living culture.
A Head Man that does not look like Russell Means doesn't hurt anyone's culture. Demanding that a Head Man SHOULD look like Russell Means is backward, harmful and closeted.
