Below is the question that started the thread. Where is the name of the
tribe?

While I have your attention.....I ran into a case today where two of my lady
friends were discussing a couple of children who were caught in a dispute
between "foster-type parents."  The details aren't needed here.....but I did
hear one of the ladies say, "....and the two children, sister and brother,
are PURE American Indian AND you would never know it.....they are both blonde

as can be and very fair."  I didn't want to speak out much on their subject,
but I did say that a DNA test could be run to see if, in fact, the children
are A.M.  Was I correct?  Also, IS it possible that "American Indian..." in
the pure form, could be blonde and fair??

Thanks much
