I agree!.

If you're ever in North Georgia stop at the Cherokee nations capital called New Echota. It was truly an eyeopener for me. I was shocked to find log cabins complete with stables, smoke houses, a well planned out grid road system, and a mix of services like stores, meeting halls, and the such. For all intensive purposes it was what you would expect from a early pioneer type settlement. The chief lived in a beautiful two story house that anyone would be comfortable in today if plumbing and electricity was installed. I just stood there like "WTF.... Where's the Teepees and wikiups"

Not me 100% German from the old country all the way back to 1820's when both side of my family came to America. The wife's clear bloodline goes back to Germany also. My family bloodline was clean until my 3 kids married locals.

I remember the time I was at a group of guys and the subject of heritage came up. I said I was German and Claude a good friend who passed away couple years ago said he was German. Then he goes on to say his uncle died at Auschwitz concentration camp during WW11.
"Oh my that terrible do you know how he died"? "Yes he fell out of a guard tower and broke his neck".
You could have heard a pin drop and most really didn't think it was funny.
