Carne Seca would be in danger in Montana. Mention "dry meat" to a Plains Indian and watch the interest!

Reminds me of my younger days with the H.A.LOL I went to the Red Earth powwow and saw a lot of Cherokee and Choctaw and some Seminole. I went into a gay bar there (Saddle Tramps) and ended up with a group of them. One of the best times of my life. We went from bar to bar and danced our little hearts out. They accepted me when I told them I was from New Mexico. One of them said hello in Navajo and I answered back and asked him how he was doing. I was kinfolk after that. They took good care of me. But they were some fierce queens. Nobody messed with them.

My ex, a Filipina, used to tell me the Spanish and Filipino languages were similar, but I always used to fuck with her, and tell her 'All my Mexican friends either speak Spanish or English, they don't mix the shit in the same sentence because the word may be easier in the other language."

that doesn't pertain to clans. Clans are how you identify yourself. The first thing two people do when greeting each other is to list their clans. This establishes a relationship. It cuts through a lot of shit.

What pissed me off, was they (Filipino, whole family) would 'blah, blah, coache, blah, church, blah.....' and I'd ask the wife what they said, and it ended up being something stupid, like 'So and so wants to borrow the car to go to the church at 11 o clock.'
Fuck me, you are too lazy to ask the whole fucking thing in English, when you know I don't understand Tagalog, but you want to borrow MY car, and don't have the balls to ask me directly?
And, come to find out, the few words that I did catch in English, she said were because the words in her language were too long, so that just made it even worse.
That just means they were fuckin LAZY!

I used to REALLY piss her off though, when she would want to use my phone to call her sis or something, and I knew it was someone she would speak only their language, so I would say 'no you can't use my phone, my translator is broken.'

Which clan you were born to and which clan you were born for, right?that doesn't pertain to clans. Clans are how you identify yourself. The first thing two people do when greeting each other is to list their clans. This establishes a relationship. It cuts through a lot of shit.

Not so much lazy. We have a mountain here that's named dził naa'oodiłee It means the turning mountain. There are words (like welsh) that go on foreeever. Tongue twisters too. It's easier to just say DZ or dizzy mountain. That way you don't take the chance of spraining your tongue.
sure!

The young Indian boy says to his grandfather "Grandfather I don't understand why. My Indian name I mean".
"Well, my son" said the grandfather, "When a child is born to us the men go to the front of the hogan and look out. Man Above sends us a vision. Your brother was born first and your father and I went to the front. We heard a loud noise from the sky and looked up. We then named him after what we saw - Screaming Eagle."
"Next was your sister and when we looked out we heard a rustling. It was autumn and we saw a young female deer spring from our corn and take off so we named her Running Doe", he continued.
"I know HOW we get our names, Grandfather" the boy interrupted.
"Then what is it you wish to know, Two Dogs Fucking?" asked Grandfather.

OK, let me see if I can remember this right...... It's not Indian, but could be manipulated to be......
The Christian priest goes into the jungle, and takes the tribal leader out walking.
They see a bird, and the priest says 'bird'.
The leader says 'bird'.
They continue on, and see a lion, and the priest points, and says 'lion'.
Further down the trail, they come across a man fucking a woman from behind, and hesitantly, the priest says 'man riding bike'
The leader pulls out a blow gun, and shoots the man dead.
The priest looks in disbelief, and the leader says 'MY BIKE.'

Three native men died and ended up before the pearly gates (similar to the native women joke). They were good men who lived good lives. The Creator was pleased and said, "You can choose how you want to spend your eternity so choose wisely. Just step off this cloud and speak your wish." The first man stepped up. He was Lakota. Tall and proud he walked fearlessly to the edge of the cloud and shouted, "Eagle!" and soared away on sacred wings. The second man was Ojibway and he gracefully walked to the edge of the cloud and shouted, "Owl!" and became a magnificent owl. Powerful and wise. The third man, in the meantime, had been jumping from foot to foot and pacing restlessly. He was impatient and wanted his wish immediately! The Creator turned to him and said, "You may choo.... " The Navajo man, in his eagerness, ran to the edge and tripped. He fell headfirst off the cloud. The last thing he was heard saying was.... "Oooooh shit!!!!"

You know the place. Interstate, dry country, enormous gift shop selling Native swag. Standing in front of it, watching the tour buses pull up, disgorge and regather their charges of strangers was a strapping young fellow with tight jeans and a long braid. Whenever a particularly eligible-looking woman came past him, he would solemnly raise his hand and intone "Chance."
After a few rounds of this, one especially pneumatic target remarked "Aren't you s'posed to say How?"
With a dazzling grin, the fellow replied "Me know How. Me want Chance."
