Has there ever been a Native American on the supreme court?
With all this recent media coverage about the murder of a security guard at the National Holocaust Museum I got to wondering about the massacre, by some estimates, of some thirty five million Native Americans. I suppose because so many of these 'domestic terrorists' were wiped out, they are no longer a significant minority! Give them a few casinos to shut them up, send in Jack Abramoff wearing a black hat, and we're still laughing all the way to the bank!

6. We actually did have a 1/2 Kaw as VP under Hoover
Charles Curtis from Kansas. Probably the only NA in any national office.

9. How could it possibly be any worse?
We need as broad a perspective as possible. Sounds good to me.

11. uh, yes there has been a NA in Congress.
Ben Nighthorse Campbell served in the U.S. Senate until 2005. As I recall, there are a couple more NAs who served in Congress.
