This week, I reached into the pile of ancient schoolwork (generously supplied by my parents) and found this little article about the “Woodland Indians” of central New York:
No doubt this is due to my decades-long immersion in “The Lord of the Rings” and similar material, but when I read this, I don’t picture Native Americans; I picture elves. But if elves lived in the woodlands of the Central New York region of “Amarica”, I never saw them. Perhaps I wasn’t looking in the right spot.
Don’t forget to vote for the September scene of the month! Will we keep going with excerpts from The Wolf? We’ll find out soon!

This week our local Indians (the Oneidas) are “Tiger Wood-land Indians”. He’s playing today on one of the golf courses near their casino complex.

Perhaps ‘Amarican’ Indians ARE elves? Amarica actually makes me tink of the Asterix series, do you know it? Asterix always seemed like a woodland elf to me. 🙂

I think that you’re so fortunate to still have your work from childhood. Mine didn’t even survive childhood. I have memories of course – but they’re notoriously unreliable.

Unless something is totally really offensive like the N word(which surprisingly SOME people can use-which is ridiculous to me-), I can’t keep up with what name is correct-“politically”-for lots of folks….bah
