When I think of greatest Americans I think of people who have actually done something great like cured a disease, invented a wonderful item, led the people to change or right a wrong. Some of the people on this list seem to just be famous, not great. Just my opnion.

It says we can nominate our OWN person!
So, my list of Native American's who should be on that list are:
Geronimo
Crazy Horse
Little Crow
John Trudell
Gary Farmer
Marcie Rendon
Winona LaDuke
Peggy Flanagan
Denise Jourdain

okay, I just asked my 9 yo dd who was her favorite Native American hero. She said, "You!"
Sweet, but a little sad. Our children need someone to look up to in this day and age of tv, media, etc.

Anyone else want to add to the list?

Not sad at all. If more Indian kids had parents they actually looked up to, Indian Country would be a much better place to live.
