Back in October when we were in Oklahoma for the Buick vs Ford Shootout, my wife went into town and picked up a few souvenirs, some of which were Indian arrow heads. She was about to give one to her cousin the other day and took it out of the packaging....to find "HECHO EN MEXICO" stamped on the back of it :D I thought that was the craziest thing I had ever seen given what it was supposed to represent being that we were at one of the richest Native American areas in the country and they import arrow heads from Mexico...
 
What's the problem? Mexicans are native American Indians too.

Finally, someone that knows a little history and human anthropology

Though to be completely accurate, you would have to say "most" since about 11% of the population in Mexico is indeed caucasian, and theres a tiny % of blacks too.


(no I'm not Mexican)
 
hey

Native Americans know how to make money....look at the casinos :) I'm cherokee and Irish....I'll probably die at 59 from drinking (but I'll die rich from the casino) ;)

That would be the Aztec and the Mayans, we were at the heart of Cherokee and Choctaw tribes...guess they had to buy arrow heads from the Aztec and Mayans though :D ..maybe they are authentic arrowheads :rolleyes:

I can see it now...these "hecho en Mexico" arrowheads get lost and dropped in the field and buried and then hundreds, maybe thousands of years later get dug up in an excavation and they find arrowheads which are believed to be authentic from the Cherokee tribes with "Hecho En Mexico" stamped on the back...what a way to alter the past history...hehe
 
FYI: All native Mexicans are of American Indian descent. Some have Spanish blood too. What we now call Mexico was populated by the same people as once resided in the American SW.
I'm not trying to be argumentative. I appriciate the humor of your post and I understand what you are saying. I just find it interesting that most people don't see Mexicans as Indians who speak Spanish.

der how do you think the rich become rich? Because someone else is poor. Or in this case outsources Native products to mexico for cheap production costs, only to resell to Americans. So the Indians produce in mexico for cheap, and then resell to Americans for higher costs giving them huge amounts of profit while exploiting mexican workers how lovly. Its exactly what our Government does so nothing really suprising about it at all.

Im surprised it took indians that long to do it. Dont they know honor, pride, and honesty gets you no where by now. One has to exploit to be successfully rich its the bottom line in America, I hate it but I fight it in my own ways.
