Are you aware of the plight of the American Indian? Do American Indians not
still exist? If the answer to either of these two questions is yes, then

I see "otherwise" in yourself. I see "otherwise" in myself. I see
"otherwise" in tens of thousands of other Americans. I see "otherwise" in
the Indians themselves. :-)
